Description

In this paper the results of a study of the process for production nuclear grade zirconium tetrachloride by fluidized bed chlorination technique are presented. A reactor with a gas distributor has been developed and this permitted to establish a procedure of zirconium tetrachloride production with adequate purity, satisfactories efficiency of reaction and reproducible results. Some relevant parameters of the kinetics of chlorination process such as: time and temperature of reaction, size and minimum fluidizing velocity of microspheres and percentage of the reducing agent have been studied.
