A metallographic study of the high‐temperature oxidation of titanium, zirconium, and hafnium has shown that alterations in the rate equations relating to such processes may be associated with the establishment of oxygen diffusion gradients in the surface layers of the metal. It has been shown that these diffusion gradients in the metal extend ...

Zirconium is a corrosion resistant metal that is used in high performance pumps and valves. Since it also does not easily absorb neutrons, zirconium is widely used in nuclear reactors. The nuclear power industry uses nearly 90% of the zirconium produced each year, which must be nearly free of hafnium.

Zirconium and hafnium are typically contained in zircon at a ratio of about 36 to 1. Zirconium chemicals were produced by the metal producer in Oregon and by at least 10 other companies. Ceramics, foundry sand, opacifiers, and refractories are the leading end uses for zircon. Other end uses of zircon include abrasives, chemicals (predominantly ...

primary zirconium and hafnium manufacturing plants depend largely on the raw material used. Six basic operations may be performed: (1) sand chlori nation, (2) separation, (3) calcining, (4) pure chlorination, (5) reduction, and (6) purification. Plants that produce zirconium and hafnium from zircon sand use all six of these process steps ...

2. Synthesis Methods. Zirconium and hafnium carbides and nitrides can be synthesized by direct reaction of metal or metal hydride powders with graphite or N 2.The reactions are strongly exothermic and can be used in a self-propagated high temperature synthesis (SHS) process [].The reaction of oxides with graphite …

Hafnium is chemically similar to zirconium and separating the two elements is difficult. Because of this, most commercial hafnium is a by-product of zirconium refining. Zircon is the primary source of all …

Zirconium is produced from two ore minerals. The principal economic source of zirconium is the zirconium silicate mineral zircon (ZrSiO 4 ). The mineral baddeleyite, a natural form of zirconium oxide or zirconia (ZrO 2 ), is a distant second to zircon in its economic significance. Zircon is the primary source of all hafnium. Zirconium and hafnium are …

Because of the lanthanide contraction of the elements in the fifth period, zirconium and hafnium have nearly identical ionic radii. The ionic radius of Zr4+ is 79 picometers and that of Hf4+ is 78 pm. 22.5B: Zirconium(IV) and Hafnium(IV) is shared under a CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license and was authored, remixed, and/or curated by LibreTexts.
