Abstract
A process is described for preparing high-purity thorium metal in kilogram quantities. Magnesium metal is used to reduce purified ThCl 4 and to form a liquid thorium-magnesium intermediate alloy. This alloy is processed to a thorium sponge metal which is consolidated by arc casting and purified by electron-beam melting. Thorium metal containing a total of 250 p.p.m. of impurities has been consistently prepared by this process.
