The invention relates to a method for converting ZrFinto ZrOby thermally converting solid ZrFand water heated in a reactor, to form ZrO. The initial weight ratio ZrFon water is especially between 1/5 and 1/500, preferably between 1/10 and 1/200, more specifically between 1/15 and 1/100, and said ratio is preferably maintained essentially throughout the conversion. The thermal conversion is carried out at a temperature which is higher than, or equal to, 300°C, especially between 300 and 800°C, preferably between 300 and 600°C, more specifically between 350 and 450°C. The invention especially relates to the recycling of the zirconium alloy stripping baths. |
