Separation of hafnium from zirconium by anion exchange
The zirconium and hafnium solutions were pre pared by dissolving the "reactor grade" metals, usually about 50 mg, in sulfuric-hydrofluoric acid solutions. The zirconium was nearly hafnium-free, but the hafnium contained several percent of zirconium. The solution was evaporated several times to fumes of sulfuric acid, and the walls of the ...
