The Separation of Hafnium and Zirconium by Liquid Thermal Diffusion
Abstract
An attempt has been made to separate hafnium and zirconium by liquid thermal diffusion utilizing liquid organic compounds of zirconium. Three compounds were investigated - zirconyl stearate, zirconium tetra isoamylate, and zirconium tetra 2-ethyl hexylate. In all cases the use of the salt was impractical due to undesirable physical properties. However it is concluded that the method might be used successfully with a more ideal compound of zirconium.
