PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF URANIUM TRICHLORIDE

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4206624
A process is described in which UCl/sub 3/ is produced from higher U chlonides by reduction with H/sub 2/ at high temperature and pressure. In an example, UCl/sub 5/ was heated at 275 ction prod- C to produce UCl/sub 4/ which was placed in a tube and heated to 525 ction prod- C in a slow H/sub 2/ stream at 7 atm. After 30 min the temperature was raised to 550 ction prod- C for 30 min. The product was very pure UCl/sub 3/. (T.R.H.)
