An important step in the purification of uranium isotopes involves the conversion of uranium (to uranium hexafluoride (UF.). In the present process, UF, is prepared by exposing uranium pellets. spherical in shape, to pure fluorine gas (F:) at 1000 K and 1 atm pressure. The molecular diffusion of the fluorine gas to the pellet surface is thought to be the controlling step. If the reaction U(s) + 3F2(g) - UF.(g) occurs irreversibly and instantaneously on the pellet surface, and the diffusivity of fuorine sa through uranium hexafluoride gas is Da 0.273 cm is at 1000 K and I am.
