Zirconium and Hafnium Chemistry

摘要: Publisher Summary There are several complete compilations of the literature concerning zirconium and hafnium that take reader up to about 1960. Since then reviews more limited scope have been published, one on structural aspects chemistry, others separation aqueous chemistry , ion-exchange properties compounds. In general, data in present review drawn from publications since 1960, although references earlier work included where necessary picture. The discovery thermal-neutron cross-section capture containing natural 2% content was largely due very high cross section stimulated interest chemical physical these elements. use hafnium-free alloys for cladding nuclear fuels control rods reactors account fact much recent deals with reduction, purity, working properties, alloy formation
