CeF3 nanoparticles: Synthesis and characterization

CeF3 nanoparticles 5-10nm in size were prepared using the polyol method. CeCl3 and HF were heated up in ethylene glycol. At a temperature of 180°C crystalline CeF3 nanoparticles were formed. The material was washed with ethanol, centrifugated and dried. The particles were characterized by EDX, XRD and TEM.

Solubility of UF4, ThF4, and CeF3 in a LiF-NaF-KF melt

The solubility of UF4, ThF4, and CeF3 in fluoride melt of the composition 45 mol % LiF-12 mol % NaF-43 mol % KF in the temperature interval 773-973 K was determined. The solubility of the fluorides increases with an increase in the melt temperature. The CeF3 solubility in the LiF-NaF-KF system is high: 19.9 mol % at 923 K and 23.3 mol % at 973 K. Experimental data on the solubility of CeF3 (PuF 3 imitator) were compared to the calculated data on the PuF 3 solubility in the LiF-NaF-KF melt. The results showed that CeF3 can be considered as PuF3 imitator in FLINAK melt.
