ACETATE PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF THORIUM FLUORIDE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4178143

An acetate process for producing thorium fluoride was demonstrated to be feasible on a laboratory scale. The process is based on the conversion of thorium nitrate tetrahydrate to anhydrous thorium acetate, with subsequent rapid hydrofluorination at low temperatares to thonium tetrafluoride. A modified anslytical procedure was demonstrated for determining the per cent fluoride present in ThF/sub 4/ - Th(Ac)/sub 4/ mixtures. (auth)
