Zirconium and Hafnium Statistics and Information U.S.
Zirconium and hafnium are contained in zircon at a ratio of about 50 to 1. Zircon is a coproduct or byproduct of the mining and processing of heavy-mineral sands for the titanium minerals, ilmenite and rutile, or tin minerals. The major end uses of zircon are refractories, foundry sands (including investment casting), and ceramic opacification.

Zirconium and hafnium U.S. Geological Survey
Dec 19, 2017Most zirconium is consumed in the form of the main ore mineral zircon (ZrSiO 4, or as zirconium oxide or other zirconium chemicals. Zirconium and hafnium are both refractory lithophile elements that have nearly identical charge, ionic radii, and ionic potentials. As a result, their geochemical behavior is generally similar.

Zirconium and hafnium: Old minerals finding new
Jan 30, 2019Hafnium is a by-product of zircon refining. Global zircon production is dominated by Australia (33%) and South Africa (27%), with China (11%) and Indonesia (8%) also making significant contributions. Between 1999 and 2014, zirconium supply grew at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.75% from 673,000t to 1,680,000t.

Zirconium and hafnium: Old minerals finding new prominence
Jan 30, 2019As a result, zircon becomes concentrated in sedimentary deposits and is present in most sands. It is found in economic concentrations in heavy mineral sand deposits. Hafnium is chemically similar to zirconium and separating the two elements is difficult. Because of this, most commercial hafnium is a by-product of zirconium refining. Zircon is

Hafnium and zirconium separation by ion exchange and desorption by 0.025M acetic acid and 1M perchloric or nitric acid is described. The influence of the mineral acid on the V/sub max/ position and separation efficiency is analyzed. The influence is related to an imposed second process, complex formation with the mineral acids.
