METHOD FOR COLLECTING AND SEPARATING THE REFRACTORY METAL COMPONENT FROM THE REACTION PRODUCTS IN THE PRODUCTION OF THE REFRACTORY METALS TITANIUM, ZIRCONIUM, VANADIUM, HAFNIUM, SILICON, THORIUM, CHROMIUM, OR COLUMBIUM
A method and the equipment used for collecting and separating reaction products in the production of the refractory metals Ti, Zr, V, Hf, Si, Th, Cr, and Nb are described. The process consists of collecting and gravitationally separating the metal product and reducing agent in the process in which the temperature of the collecting and separating reaction products is controlled by means of the deposition of a thin refractory metal sponge lining on the walls of a collection chamber, which acts as a thermal barrier. The general conditions are listed for the continuous reaction of metal product halide with a stream of reducing agent in a reaction chamber. The reaction apparatus is described in detail. (P.C.H.)
