Abstract

An intensive investigation of the electrolysis of in an electrolyte of has been carried out to determine the optimum conditions for the production of zirconium metal by fused salt electrolysis.Cell designs and conditions of operation evolved are described, yielding a high purity zirconium powder which is ductile on consolidation. This metal can be fabricated with ease, and is comparable to Kroll zirconium sponge. Because of the stability of the raw‐materials, their ease in preparation and in electrolysis, coupled with lower cost equipment, it is felt that this process will yield a much lower cost zirconium metal.
