High-purity zirconium tetrafluoride (ZrF 4 ) has been produced using sublimation and distillation techniques. The transitionmetal impurities have been determined in these purified samples, and it has been found that distillation is the preferred method of purification using a number of criteria. A detailed description of the apparatus used to produce this material is also given.
