ABSTRACT:
Utilization of inherent fractional distillation of magnesium and magnesium chloride in reduction to sponge metal in a vacuum distillation furnace of zirconium and/or hafnium or other refractory metal tetrachloride by the Kroll process, to separate magnesium from magnesium chloride and metal subchlorides so the magnesium can be recycled in the process substantially free of the magnesium chloride and metal subchlorides. The magnesium vapor from the distillation furnace is recovered and condensed separately from the magnesium chloride and refractory metal sub-chloride vapors.
