Uranium tetrafluoride (UF4) is a green crystalline solid compound of uranium with an insignificant vapor pressure and very slight solubility in water. Uranium in its tetravalent (uranous) state is very important in different technological processes. In the uranium refining industry it is known as green salt. UF4 is prepared from UO2 in a fluidized bed by reaction with HF. The UO2 is derived from mining operations, around 60.000 tonnes per year are prepared in this way. UF4 is an intermediate between UO2 and UF6. In the UF4 from mining, there ares till significant impurities left. Further conversion of the UF4 to UF6 is a highly effective method to isolate very pure Uranium, as UF6 has a low boiling point and can therefore be distilled, getting rid of impurities. UF6 can also be enriched in ultracentrifuges or by diffusion. As a means of preparing Uranium for long term storage or possible use many decades from now, uranium hexafluoride (UF6) that is depleted in U235, or refined from spent nuclear fuel can be converted back into either uranium oxides (U3O8 , UO2), or uranium metal.
