IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO PRODUCTION OF CHLORIDES OF METALS

OSTI ID:4141508
ABS>Metal chlorides which are deliquescent or readily hydrolyzed (e.g., those of thorium, beryllium, and uranium) can be produced by chlorination of the oxides other than titanium-containing oxides in the following way: The oxide to be chlorinated is added to a melt comprising an alkali metal chloride and/or alkaline earth metal chloride (Cl/sub 2/ and C or CO). Excess of Cl/sub 2/ and CO are desirable. When the metal whose chloride is to be formed has only one stable valence, the reaction is assisted by the chloride of a metal having more than one stable valence (e.g., Fe). Four applications of the above method are given for production of ThCl/sub 4/ and UCl/sub 3/. (D.L.C.)
