METHOD OF PRODUCING HAFNIUM-FREE "CRYSTAL-BAR" ZIRCONIUM FROM A CRUDE SOURCE OF ZIRCONIUM

OSTI ID:4301797
In order to reduce the number of steps in the process of producing pure crystal bar metal, zirconium carbide is converted to the iodide, which is then purified and subsequently decomposed. Crude carbide is first formed by heating zircon sand with carbon. The conversion is then carried out by heating the carbide in a stream of iodide to form tetraiodide.
