Separation of Zirconium from Hafnium by Ion Exchange
The hafnium-to-zirconium separation factor is approximately constant (≈8) over the 0.5–3 N range. Under certain conditions, an unseparated fraction was observed that was not retained by the resin.
Hafnium
Hafnium is a good absorber of neutrons and is used to make control rods, such as those found in nuclear submarines. It also has a very high melting point and because of this is used in plasma welding torches. Hafnium has been successfully alloyed with several metals including iron, titanium and niobium.
