Abstract:
STUDY ON KINETICS OF PYROHYDROLYSIS REACTION OF UF4Kang Shifang Zhao Jun(Chemical Engineering Department,Tianjin University,300072)ABSTRACTThe pyrohydrolysis of UF4 producted by catalysis hydrogen reduction of UF6 is studied in H2steam mixture gases. The results show that the pyrohydrolysis of UF4 obeys the phase boundary rate law and has an activitition energy of 49.2 kJ/mol. The water partial pressure in H2steam mixture gases effects more on reaction rate of UF4 pyrohydrolysis at higher temperature. The experimental results also show that this UF4 has higher reaction rate than the UF4 producted by other methods.The UF4 produced by catalysis hydrogen reduction of UF6 is deflourined easily at lower temperature.Key words UF4 Pyrohydrolysis UF6 Deflourine
