Im. Batyaev et Ma. Solovev, HIGH-PURITY VITRIFYING ZINC-CHLORIDE SYNTHESIS FOR QUANTUM-ELECTRONICS MATERIALS, Russian journal of applied chemistry, 66(3), 1993, pp. 404-407
A method of synthesis of anhydrous, high-purity vitrifying zinc chlori
de is developed which is based on metal melt chlorination in a quartz
reactor. A method for refining different hydrated forms of zinc chlori
de is suggested. The zinc chloride samples obtained were demonstrated
to be consistent with the standards for materials used in quantum elec
tronics, e.g., for development and manufacturing of inorganic laser li
quids and vitreous materials.
