THE HYDROGEN REDUCTION OF BORON TRICHLORIDE ON ALLOY WIRES

TL;DRAbstract

The process for the manufacture of isotopically enriched pure boron was reactivated late in 1953 with the Hooker Electrochemical Company as operating contractor.In order to become familiar with the chemical and mEchanical aspects of the process, and to try to develop improvements, a laboratory study of each processing step was started and, in some cases, continued during the operation of the plant.This report covers the work done on the step for reducing boron trichloride with hydrogen on a hot wire inside a glass tube.From the limited amount of work done, no probability of making any major reduction in the cost of this step was discovered.A number of minor improvements were developed which made operation less difficult and which contributed to a longer operating life and hence a greater productivity and lower unit of cost of the expensive alloy wires.It is believed, however, that increased capacity for this product should be secured by developing a metal reactor containing a multiple
