Abstract:

An attempt has been made to separate hafnium and zirconium by liquid thermal diffusion utilizing liquid organic compounds of zirconium. Three compounds were investigated - zirconyl stearate, zirconium tetra isoamylate, and zirconium tetra 2-ethyl hexylate. In all cases the use of the salt was impractical due to undesirable physical properties. However it is concluded that the method might be used successfully with a more ideal compound of zirconium.
