A THERMODYNAMIC STUDY OF THE REDUCTION OF URANIUM HALIDES
Technical Report

OSTI ID:4247063
ABS>The possibility of reducing halides by various metallic reducing agents was studied from a thermodynamic point of view. The changes in free energy for the various reductions were examined and an assessment made of those processes which might prove more efficient than the present reduction of uranium tetrafluoride by either calcium or magnesium. Sodium offers favorable theoretical possibilities as a reductant for UF/sub4/, UF/sub 6/, or the corresponding chlorides. The hexafluoride and hexachioride offer possibilities as a suitable basic material for any reduction process. Disproportionation of either UF/sub 3/ or UCl/sub 3/ as a cyclic process should also be examined. (auth)
