Introduction. Zirconium is always accompanied by hafnium in nature and therefore termed congeneric. Zircon (ZrSiO 4) and baddeleyite (ZrO 2) are the major minerals for zirconium and contained more than 0.5% hafnium, which originates from the substitution of zirconium in the crystal lattice (Taghizadeh et al., 2011).Zirconium has …Web

Cyclohexanone was found to be a very excellent extraction solvent for the mutual separation of zircorium and hafnium. The distribution ratio (D: the ratio of the concentration of zirconium or hafnium in orgaric phase to that in aqueous phase) and the separation factor (the ratio of D/sub Hf//D/sub Zr/) in this extraction were measured chiefly at 30 deg C. …Web
BEAP (B) was used to separate zirconium from hafnium with a separation factor of 6.8 under optimum conditions. The content of HfO 2 in ZrO 2 product was decreased from 3% in the feed to 0.6% in the Zr product after counter-current operation. The extracted complexes can be determined to be ZrO(HSO 4) 2 ·3B and HfO(HSO 4) 2 ·2B …Web

After washing, atomic-level zirconia containing hafnium <0.01% can be obtained. The hafnium in the raffinate is enriched to 50% to 70%, and then extracted by P204, and the zirconium and hafnium are further separated to obtain atomic energy level hafnium oxide containing more than 96% of hafnium. This process has low material …Web
A method is provided to optimize separation of zirconium from hafnium by extraction of a feed mix including (Zr+Hf)OCl 2 with a thiocyanate-containing organic phase. The method includes maintaining the TA/MO 2 ratio in a range from greater than about 2.55 to about 3.5. ... Uranium-preextraction in zirconium/hafnium separations process ...Web
Density functional theory (DFT) is employed to investigate ferroelectric (FE) hafnium–zirconium oxide stack models for both metal–insulator–metal (MIM) and metal–insulator–semiconductor (MIS) structures.

16 Timothy Adams, "Zirconium and Hafnium," from Mineral Facts and Problems, U.S. Bureau of Mines, 1985, pp. 941-956. A less complicated method may be found to separate hafnium from zirconium and to refine the hafnium. A new process is being developed where zirconium and hafnium are separat ed by fractional distillation of the zirconium ...Web
1. Introduction. Zirconium and hafnium are two of the most important nuclear materials [1].They are mainly used for cladding nuclear reactor fuels and control rods due to their extremely opposite absorption characteristics for thermal neutrons, respectively [2], [3].The purity of Zr and Hf has a direct compact on the efficiency and security of reactor …Web

Nuclear-grade zirconium (Zr) and hafnium (Hf) play an inevitably strategic role in the sustainable development of the nuclear industry. However, the efficient separation of Zr ions and Hf ions is still problematic due to their approximate ionic radii.

The disadvantages of these processes could be largely avoided if it were feasible to separate hafnium and zirconium, using another extractants. Previous reports have used Cyanex 925, Cyanex 923, 3 Aliquat 336, 4 Cyanex 272 5 and D2EHPA 6 for zirconium/hafnium separation [4], [5], [6]. The comparison of these works shows that …Web
whereas hafnium is used as an excellent control rod material for reactors due to its high neutron-absorption capacity. The efficiency of the reactor depends directly on the concentration of hafnium in zirconium. The zirconium should contain a very low concentration of hafnium, not exceeding 100 ppm, for use in the nuclear industry.Web
