Abstract

Zirconium oxide of high purity is prepared by reacting solid zirconium tetrachloride with superheated steam or aliphatic alcohols in vapour form at temperatures between 120 and 310 DEG C. The alcohols preferably contain between one and five carbon atoms and the reaction products contain the corresponding alkyl halides. If alcohols are employed it is preferred to complete the reaction by means of superheated steam. The zirconium oxide formed may be calcined at 1000 DEG C. to produce zirconium dioxide of 99.9 per cent purity. According to examples: (1) a pure solid zirconium tetrahalide was treated with superheated steam at 220 DEG C. to produce zirconium oxide containing water and hydrogen chloride, which was then calcined for two hours at 1000 DEG C. to produce pure zirconium oxide (2) Solid zirconum tetrachloride was reacted with steam at 220 DEG to 240 DEG C. and the temperature was then raised to 500 DEG to 550 DEG C. whilst admitting further steam; the product was calcined at 1000 DEG C. (3) Solid zirconium tetrachloride was treated with methanol vapour at 280 DEG C. and the resulting methyl chloride was purified from traces of dimethyl ether and unreacted methanol and moisture by means of caustic soda and hydrochloric acid and was then liquified. When 80 per cent of the tetrachloride had reacted, superheated steam was passed through to complete the reaction and the oxide obtained was calcined at 1000 DEG C.ALSO:Alkyl halides are produced by reacting aliphatic alcohol vapours at 120-310 DEG C. with solid zirconium tetrachloride. C1 to C5 alcohols are preferred. According to an example (3) solid zirconium tetrachloride is treated with methanol vapour at 280 DEG C. The methyl chloride is treated with NaOH and HCl to remove traces of dimethyl ether, methanol and moisture and thereafter liquefied.
