Abstract
The thermal dissociation of zircon to zirconium dioxide and silica was carried out in a d.c. plasma torch-based chemical reactor. Zirconia w as extracted from the dissociated product by alkali treatment followed by washing with distilled water. The dissociation reaction is strongl y affected by the power input to the torch.
