PREPARATION OF YTTRIUM FLUORIDE IN FLUIDIZED BEDS
Description:
The batch fluid-bed hydrofluorination of yttrium oxide to yttrium fluoride of low residual oxygen content was studied in a 3-inch Monel column. Bed temperature, hydrofluorination time, and hydrofluoric acid excess were studied, and the contamination due to equipment corrosion was determined. A sample of the fluoride was converted to metal and analyzed for impurities. A brief investigation of the reaction kinetics was also made on the thermobalance. (auth)
