ATTEMPT TO PURIFY METALS BY ZONE MELTING WITH AN ARC (in French)

Journal Article · · J. Nuclear Energy
The most reactive metals can be melted without contamination by arc- melting on a water-cooled copper hearth. For the purifiation of these metals, the zone melting process was applied with an apparatus in which a zone of a metallic rod resting in the groove of a copper hearth is melted by a tungsten arc. Efficiency of are zone melting was checked for uranium, zirconiunu, and thorium purification. Advantages and limitation of the process are outlined. (auth)
