Resumo

The sorption of neodymium, lanthanum, and thorium fluorides from a melt under dynamic conditions using AG-3 activated carbon at a temperature of 650°C was studied for the first time. The well-known eutectic mixture of alkali metal fluorides LiF–NaF–KF was used as the melt. To conduct the experiments, a special installation was developed and manufactured to study the sorption process under dynamic conditions as applied to melts. During the sorption of neodymium and lanthanum fluorides, three main zones are identified: the sorption front formation zone and the sorption and slip zones. It is shown that, under the conditions considered, it is possible to purify thorium fluoride to remove lanthanum fluoride. The maximum value of the sorption capacity for lanthanum fluoride reached more than 5 mg/g and depended on the melt flow rate through the activated carbon zone. Thorium fluoride was not sorbed with activated carbon under the studied conditions studied.
