Description

The second stage of Project Zirconium, which is being developed is presented. This stage consists of the study of a) a process for the chlorination of ZrO2 to obtain the compound ZrCl4; b) a process for magneisothermic reduction of ZrCl4 to obtain metallic zirconium. This study views as its objective the installation of a pilot plant to produce metallic zirconium in the form of sponge. (Author)
