New alloys containing refractory metals have been developed
by the aero-space industry to meet the demand for thermally resistant
materials. The chemical analysis of these alloys has been
handled successfully by the use of ion exchange. Hydrofluoric acid,
either alone or combined with hydrochloric acid, has here-to-fore
been used to...
The Kroll Process for the production of zirconium utilizes
the reduction of zirconium tetrachloride with metallic magnesium.
Control of the magnesium content of the final zirconium metal is
essential, as residual magnesium adversely influences the properties
of zirconium.
In this thesis a volumetric method has been presented for the
determination...
