Description/Abstract:
STEPS IN THE CONVERSION OF PU NITRATE-HNO3 SOLUTIONS TO PU METAL ORE (1) PREPARATION OF A SOLUTION HAVING A COMPARISION SUITABLE FOR FURTHER PROCESSING (2) PREPARATION OF A PU HALIDE (E.G. PUF3) OR A COMPOUND WHICH CAN BE CONVERTED TO A HALIDE BY DRY CHEMICAL TREATMENT (3) DRYING OF THE PPTD HALIDE OR DRY-CHEMICAL CONVERSION TO A HALIDE AND (4) THE REDUCTION OF THE PU BY A MORE ELECTRO POSITIVE METAL IN A HERMETICALLY SEALED BOMB. PRESENTS DATA AND INFORMATION PERTINENT TO THESE PROCESSES.
