Fixation of Bromine and of Uranium Hexafluoride on Carbon; FIXATION DU BROME ET DE L'HEXAFLUORURE D'URANIUM SUR LES CARBONES

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4269367
The fixation of bromine on pitch coke, paraffin coke, petroleum, coke, and various blacks was studied. The sorption curves were determined as a function of the bromine partial pressure. The results obtained with petroleum coke and pitch coke are analogous to those obtained with graphite. The paraffin cokes and blacks give isotherms sharply different from those of other carbons. In the study of fixation of uranium hexafluoride on carbon, it was found that the hexafluoride is adsorbed by graphites and graphitized carbons and gives a lamellar compound. The stability of this compound was determined. Uranium hexafluoride can be removed frora a nitrogen stream by passage over graphite, and the hexafluoride is purified of traces of HF. (J.S.R.)
