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