Description/Abstract:
THE TIME TO EFFECT THE OXALATE-FLUORIDE CONVERSION IN TASK II HAS BEEN REDUCED FROM 8.25 TO 4.33 HOURS BY TEMPERATURE CONTROL. THIS HAS RESULTED IN A TWOFOLD INCREASE IN PRODUCTION. DISCUSSES CHEMISTRY OF PROCESS, EQUIPMENT; ORIGINAL CYCLE, INITIAL REDUCTIONS, CAKE TEMPERATURE STUDY, FAST DRYING AND OXIDATION CYCLE, PREHEATED PROCESS GASES, INITIAL FLUORINATION TEMPERATURE REDUCTION, EFFECT OF PREHEATERS AND FURTHER REDUCTION OF FLUORINATION TEMPERATURE.
