Abstract:
In this paper, the effects of different accelerators (U
3O
8, WO
3 and Cr
2O
3) on pyrohydrolysis of LiF were studied. In addition, effects of addition of accelerators, types of accelerators, dosage of accelerators and reaction time on pyrohydrolysis conversion efficiency of LiF were discussed. And solid products were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results show that when the temperature is set as 650 ℃, the acceleration effects of the three accelerators are in accordance with the following rule: WO
3>U
3O
8>Cr
2O
3. Meanwhile, the reaction mechanism is summarized according to the analysis of components of solid products, so as to provide some basic data for the potential application of such accelerators.
