An investigation into the fluorination capabilities of ammonium acid fluoride under microwave radiation with respect to zircon

South Africa is the second largest producer of zircon (ZrSiO4) in the world, Australia being the largest. Zircon is notorious for its chemical inertness. Extreme processing conditions such as alkaline fusion (NaOH at 600 °C or Na2CO3 at 1200 °C) are used to extract the zirconium values from the mine...
