Zirconia (zirconium oxide) ceramic for refining platinum-group alloys--cs cermic co.,ltd
Zirconia (zirconium oxide) is the material of choice, and several grades are available. A cheaper alternative is zircon (zirconium silicate) which is often used for refining platinum-group alloys from glassy material.
The usual arrangement is to prepare an assembly with the crucible packed into a refractory sleeve with a granular backing mix. The sleeve can be of a lower quality refractory compared to the crucible as it only reaches a fraction of the temperature seen by the crucible; its main qualities should be high strength and good thermal flexibility to accommodate thermal expansion of its’ contents during multiple thermal cycles.
