Cost estimates and design, engineering, procurement, and construction of plants to produce B/up 10/ in quantities of 500 and 750 kilograms per year in concentrations of 70% and 95% are presented. Process designs and plant layouts were made for methyl ether-boron trifluoride complex preparation and fractionation and for the production of pulverized crystalline boron fractionated complex. Laboratory studies were carried out on the thermal degradation of methyl ether-boron trifluoride complex and on the effect of methyl fluoride recirculation through the fractionation. Other studies included dehydration of methyl ether and corrosion tests with the complex on pump and packing materials. (W.L.H.)
