It is shown experimentally that the resistance to mass transfer during the rectification of mixtures of uranium hexafluoride with tungsten and molybdenum hexafluoride is mostly due to the liquid phase. It is recommended that the equivalent diameter of the packing be used as the linear size when calculating the criterional equations for mass transfer.
