TRANSLATION OF THE CONTINUOUS ZONE-REFINING METHOD

摘要

A continuous zone-refining method was developed which is marked by effective separation of the components and high productivity, accomplished by diluting the molten zone in the last section of the separating part of the column with simultaneous tapping of the molten zone at the end of each pass. The separation mechanism of continuous zone refining was studied with an apparatus designed for that purpose. Further, several basic designs of continuous zone-refining apparatus were made.
