Synthesis of thorium tetrafluoride (ThF4) by ammonium hydrogen difluoride (NH4HF2)

The present study aims to investigate the fluorination of thorium oxide (ThO2) by ammonium hydrogen difluoride (NH4HF2). Fluorination was performed at room temperature by mixing ThO2 and NH4HF2 at different molar ratios, which was then left to react for 20 days. Next, the mixtures were analyzed usin...
