Uranium hexafluoride synthesis

The major use of C1F3 is in the nuclear industry which converts unclean spent fuel reprocessing, uranium metal into gaseous uranium hexafluoride. Other applications are low temperature etchant for single crystalline silicon [63,64], It is also used as a fluorinating reagent and in the synthesis of GIF and conversion of metals to metal fluorides such as tantalum and niobium metals to tantalum pentafluoride and niobium pentafluoride, respectively. [Pg.672]

Fluorine is combined either directly or indirectly with other elements to form compounds such as hydrofluoric acid, fluoropolymers and is used in the synthesis of organic fluorine compounds such as fluorides as in the manufacture of Freon (i.e., dichlo-rodifluoromethane, CCI2F2), which is used as a refrigerant. Fluorine is used in the manufacture of uranium hexafluoride that is necessary for the separation of the isotopes of uranium in centrifuges in the production of nuclear weapons. Fluorine and its compounds are used in producing more than 100... [Pg.1154]
