uranium hexafluoride
  هگزافلویءورید ِ اورانیوم   
hegzâfluorid-e urâniyom

Fr.: hexafluorure d'uranium   

A white solid compound (UF6) of → uranium and → fluorine obtained by chemical treatment of → yellowcake, forming a vapor at temperatures above 56 °C. It contains both of the naturally occurring → isotopes of uranium U-235 and U-238. The isotopes are separated on the basis of differences in their diffusion properties. UF6 is the process medium for all separation processes for → uranium enrichment. It is essential that fluoride be a pure element and therefore solely the mass differences of U-235 and U-238 determine the separation process.

uranium; → hexa-; → fluoride.
