THE PURIFICATION OF BERYLLIUM METAL BY A DISTILLATION PROCESS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4086228
Commercial beryllium metal was purified in gram quantities by a distillation process involving condensation in a heated tube, the temperature of which was graduated from 1300 deg C at the bottom to 900 deg C at the top. The interim results show that many of the impurities that are volatilized with beryllium pass to the cooler end of the condenser and the purest metal was collected in a zone of 1100 to 1000 deg C. The anomalous behavior of certain impurities is described. (auth)
