Separation of Zirconium and Hafnium by Extraction with 2-octanol.
Zirconium and hafnium are shown to be separable using 2-octanol (C8H18O) as an extractant.Zirconium basic carbonate was dissolved using hydrochloric acids at concentrations ranging from 5 % to 20 %.Potassium fluoride was found to be crucial Gotu Kola to the process.Its effect was investigated in the concentration range of 1 M to 3 M.The optimum con
