Solubility of Uranium Hexafluoride in Liquid Metal Penta- and Hexafluorides

  • Published:
Atomic Energy Aims and scope

The existence of a linear dependence of the mutual solubility of the higher fluorides of group-V and –VI metals on the atomic number of the solvent metal was established. The solubility of uranium hexafluoride in liquid metal pentafluorides is shown to be a linear function of the parameter α/r 6 of the solvent.
