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 using Xray diffraction (XRD) at the intervals of 5, 10, 15, and 20 days, followed by the heating of the mixtures at 450e750 C with argon gas flow. | Synthesis of thorium tetrafluoride (ThF4) by ammonium hydrogen difluoride (NH4HF2)
