Advanced of rare earth fluorides technology

The thermochemical processes of synthesis and purification of rare earth metals fluorides through the transfer of fluoroammonium complexes were discussed. By differential thermal calorimetry the temperature maxima of rates of formation and decomposition of complex compounds were defined and the values of the apparent activation energy processes were determined. It is possible the use of fluoroammonium systems to develop the preparation of anhydrous fluorides of rare earth metals.</jats:p
