PRODUCTION OF METALLIC ZIRCONIUM BY IGNEOUS ELECTROLYSIS BEGINNING WITH ZIRCONIUM OXIDE (in French)

Journal Article · · Compt. Rend.
OSTI ID:4750248
The possibility of producing metallic Zr by electrolysis of fused salt mixtures under conditions such that the metal is produced directly from ZrO/sub 2/ was studied. The use of sodium chloride and of sodium fluoride as melts produced no positive results. Electrolysis of fused mixtures of ZrF/sub 4/ and NaF to which ZrO/sub 2/ is added was investigated. The conditions of the electrolysis giving the best yield were determined. The metallic powder obtained was charged with oxygen. (J.S.R.)
