Chlorination kinetics for actinoid and fission-product phosphates in chloride melts. 3. Cerium phosphate

Kinetic measurements have been made on the reactions of cerium phosphate with carbon tetrachloride vapor in the molten chlorides of sodium, potassium, rubidium, and cesium. There is a discussion of the effects of temperature, gas flow, liquid composition, and grain size of the phosphate solid on the chlorination rate. Effective rate constants and activation energies have been calculated. A model has been constructed for the chlorination by means of a complete factor experiment.
