overview | zirconium is a rare high melting point metal with a melting point of 1852±2 ℃, a boiling point of 4377 ℃ and a density of 6.49g/cm3. Metal zirconium has a small thermal neutron absorption cross section (0.18B) and is widely used to make cladding materials for nuclear reactor cores. At the same time, zirconium as an alloy material has excellent corrosion resistance, strength and processing performance. Metal zirconium and its alloys are widely used in petrochemical, non-ferrous metallurgy, iron and steel metallurgy and other fields. The purity of metal zirconium can significantly affect the inherent characteristics of its metal. Therefore, the research on the preparation method of high purity metal zirconium has received extensive attention from scholars at home and abroad. Iodination refining method is an important method for preparing high purity metal zirconium. The crystalline zirconium rod prepared by iodination has many advantages such as high purity, small gas content, good processing performance, etc. The research on the preparation of crystalline zirconium by iodination has become a hot spot at home and abroad. |
