The Van Arkel–de Boer process, also known as ”hot wire process” or ”iodide process”, is commonly used to produce high purity titanium, zirconium and other high melting point metals. It works in a simular way to CVT (more in the “Project—crystallology”). Raw Hf metal is first reacted with iodine at few hundreds degree in a furnace. Then, the chemical forming decomposes on a hot wire, at 1200-1800ºC.

Although all the crystals are produced via melton salt electrolysis, you can see that the crystal shapes in each tube are different, as a result of the change in grain sizes. This is probably caused by various currents applied.
Thallium, with the atomic number 81, is a soft, silvery-white metal that is located in group 13 of the periodic table. It was first discovered in 1861 by a British chemist Sir William Crookes and is named after the Greek word “thallos,” which means “a green shoot or twig.” Thallium is one of the rarest …
