Actions for Research and development study for optimization of beryllium production operations. Task II report. Volume 1. Recommendations for subscale demonstration models
Research and development study for optimization of beryllium production operations. Task II report. Volume 1. Recommendations for subscale demonstration models
The eleven evaluation reports in this Task II, Volume 1 report, are the results of a comprehensive literature search and study of new concepts or alternatives for beryllium metal production, currently available in industry today. Modifications to the current beryllium metal production process were also studied. Three processes were selected for in-depth evaluation and comparison to the current process with proposed improvements: sodium reduction of beryllium chloride to produce metallic beryllium; modified Hall process for beryllium flake; and electrowinning of beryllium chloride to produce metallic beryllium.
