A. Kononov et al., ELECTROREFINING IN MOLTEN-SALTS - AN EFFECTIVE METHOD OF HIGH-PURITY TANTALUM, HAFNIUM AND SCANDIUM METAL PRODUCTION, Journal of alloys and compounds, 218(2), 1995, pp. 173-176
The purity of tantalum, hafnium and scandium metals obtained by electr
olysis in molten salts is compared with literature data on the purity
of these metals produced by other methods. The advantage of electroref
ining in high temperature electrolytes for high purity rare metal prod
uction is shown.
