A description is given of construction and use of several molten zone apparatuses operating either vertically or horizontally. Efficient purification of uranyl nitrate hexahydrate was carried out but less successful results were obtained in the case of other hydrated double salts and of zirconyl chloride in the hydrochloric gel form. A demonstration and study were made of the dissymmetry in the direction of the transport of the impurity during the purification by a vertical molten zone process. (auth)
