Titanium can exist in solution in a number of oxidation states. The titanium (IV) exists in acidic solutions as the oxo-cation, TiO 2+, rather than Ti 4+. Zirconium is used in the ceramics industry and in nuclear industry as a cladding material in reactors where its reactivity towards hydrolysis reactions and precipitation of oxides may result ...
Herein, we report the development of an unprecedented catalytic system that resulted in the realization of the zirconium- and hafnium-catalyzed C−C single-bond hydroboration (Fig. 1d ). Mechanistic studies support the formation of N−Zr IV species and then a β-carbon elimination route for C−C single bond activation.

All experimental data have been categorized into primary and …
Titanium, zirconium and hafnium. S. Cotton. Materials Science, Chemistry. 2006. This chapter reviews the literature reported during 2007 on titanium, zirconium and hafnium. Because of the limitations of space, this review is very selective, and much fine work has not been cited,…. Expand.
Zirconium is an ideal material for nuclear reactors due to its low absorption cross-section for thermal neutrons, whereas the typically contained hafnium with strong neutron …
Hafnium is closely associated with zirconium with which it shares many similarities. In fact, hafnium is so chemically similar to zirconium that these twin elements are extremely difficult to ...
Since many chemical and physical properties of the two elements are almost identical, all zirconium-bearing minerals (zircon, baddeleyite ) contain about 1–5% …
Events, Trends, and Issues: Domestic mining of zirconium ores and production of concentrates took place at two mines near Stony Creek, VA; one near Starke, FL; and …
Since many chemical and physical properties of the two elements are almost identical, all zirconium-bearing minerals (zircon, baddeleyite ) contain about 1–5% hafnium . In geology, this is referred to as twinning or association of the two elements.
Nuclear grade zirconium and hafnium are important materials in nuclear power plants, which are usually produced with solvent extraction and separation technology. In this paper, the preferential extracting hafnium was successfully achieved by the selective complexation of the selected organic acids.
Events, Trends, and Issues: Domestic mining of zirconium ores and production of concentrates took place at two mines near Stony Creek, VA; one near Starke, FL; and one near Nahunta, GA. Prices for zircon concentrates remained constant throughout the year. U.S. imports of ores and concentrates decreased by about 38% and exports decreased …
