The prospective uses of zirconium and hafnium in present day technology are important and varied; these metals find their greatest use in nuclear power engineering. Because of the well-known difference between zirconium and hafnium in the absorption of thermal neutrons, it is very important to obtain pure zirconium with minimum hafnium content and vice versa. The separation of these elements that are so similar in chemical properties is exceedingly complicated. There are difficulties in the analytical monitoring of the separation processes, and in the determination of the elements in the presence of one another in various materials, viz. zirconium against a hafnium background and vice versa. In the present review they describe the present state of the problem of zirconium and hafnium determination in presence of one another, and they note the advances and the unsolved problems in this field of analytical chemistry.
