In laboratory units, the process was optimized for massive zirconium sponge block production by magnesium-thermal reduction process by two routes: zirconium tetrachloride powder and vapor reduction with magnesium followed by produced reaction mass cleaning by vacuum separation. Specific features of the process for zirconium tetrachloride reduction with magnesium was investigated using the equipment of different design, as well as the process of reaction mass block high-temperature separation. The properties of magnesium-reduced zirconium sponge were studied. Key process parameters of magnesium-thermal reduction and vacuum separation were established. The research results will be used in the production of Zr1%Nb alloy for the needs of atomic energetics in Ukraine.
