Synopsis The separation of zirconium and hafnium is essential in the nuclear industry, since zirconium alloys for this application require hafnium concentrations of less than 100 ppm. The separation is, however, very difficult due to the numerous similarities in the chemical and physical properties of these two elements. Traditional …
Zircon has the characteristics of low acidity, and high melting point, can be combined with all organic and inorganic sand binders, and can be used as a molding substrate for sand casting and investment casting. It is widely used in the fields of aerospace, military industry, nuclear reaction and atomic energy, and it is also an …

The TBP solvent has the advantage of a high extraction efficiency for zirconium, whereas it corrodes the equipment seriously [24] ... The process achieves the separation of zirconium and hafnium tetrachlorides utilizing their difference in chemical reducibility. Zirconium dichloride or zirconium metal is employed as the reducing …
A selective extraction and separation of zirconium by solvent extraction with 1-octanol is proposed. ... Abstract Membrane filtration equipment was used to evaluate zirconium and hafnium separation efficiency by a membrane separation process. High rejection of Zr and Hf species in aqueous solution were …
Bench-scale chlorination and volatilization experiments were conducted on uranium, zirconium, and a U-50 wt% Zr alloy in order to gather the data needed to develop processing methods and equipment. It is also proposed that the demonstrated chlorination process may be coupled to a hydride/dehydride pulverization process, resulting in …
The paper reviews the various pyrometallurgical processes developed for the separation of hafnium from zirconium and also discusses the criteria for the selection of the process to be adopted for the preparation of nuclear grade zirconium in the country.

Abstract Sorption behavior of zirconium and hafnium on different commercial anion exchange resins with different amine functions; ammonium (Amberjet 4200Cl), pyridine (PVP) and pyridinium (HPQ) was investigated in hydrochloric acid by both batch and column methods. Experiments were studied as a function of the concentration of …

Abstract A solvent extraction method has been employed to extract and separate zirconium and hafnium from the nitric acid medium using Cyanex-272 and its mixture with TBP in kerosene. ... knowledge of extraction equilibrium and its mathematical description is basic information necessary for the design of separation process and …
A new porous green extraction resin TODGA/SiO 2-P was synthesized for the mutual separation of Sc(III) and Zr(IV).. A high SF Zr/Sc of 25.33 was achieved by TODGA/SiO 2-P in 6 M HNO 3 solution.. It exhibited fast adsorption-elution kinetics. • More than 99% of Zr(IV) could be removed from Sc 2 O 3 leaching solution.. DFT, XPS, NMR, …
Zircon sand beneficiation is removing impurity minerals from zircon sand ore and increasing the content of zircon sand ore. We determine the beneficiation process and equipment configuration according to the …
The zircon sand concentrator is often divided into two parts: wet treatment and dry treatment. In the wet treatment stage, gangue minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and mica are removed by gravity …
The presence of fluoride also could have implications on corrosion aspects of the handling equipment used for reprocessing. Sreenivasulu et al. reported 70% dissolution of zirconium by ensuring quantitative dissolution of uranium and plutonium [14]. The authors reported that the remaining undissolved zirconium remained as a black …
Zirconium does not absorb neutrons, making it an ideal material for use in nuclear power stations. More than 90% of zirconium is used in this way. Nuclear reactors can have more than 100,000 metres of zirconium alloy tubing. With niobium, zirconium is superconductive at low temperatures and is used to make superconducting magnets.
Zirconium finds applications in industry which suit its high corrosion resistance and strength. It is very similar to the less plentiful Hafnium (see below) and the two are very difficult to separate. Most samples of either are contaminated with small amounts of the other element.

Magnetic separation: Heavy minerals in the magnetic minerals are ilmenite, hematite, chromite, garnet, biotite, monazite and so on. Zircon is a non-magnetic mineral or a weakly magnetic mineral. Magnetic separation is divided into two types: dry type and wet type. Dry magnetic separation must be preheated before drying and grading.
