had to be entirely rebuilt. 
 
 Zirconium.—In 1967, American Metal Climax, Inc., bought out 50 percent
interest of Carborundum Metals, which became Amax Specialty Metals, Inc.
The company produces zirconium sponge from zircon sand at this plant. Imported
zircon from Australia is converted to zirconium carbonitride by fusing it
with carbon in a 5,000 kva arc type electric furnace. The zirconium carbonitride
is chlorinated in fixed bed water-cooled exothermic chlor 
inators, and the resulting zirconium chloride processed to remove hafnium
by selective solvent extraction. The purified zirconium in aqueous solution
is reprecipitated as oxide, calcined, pelletized with sugar, the pellets
carbonized, and then chlorinated to zirconium tetrachioride. The zirconium
tetrachloride is reduced to sponge zirconium with metallic magnesium and
shipped to the company's plant in Akron, N.Y., for conversion into ingots
and rolling the ingots into various shapes. The byproduct hafnium oxide is
partly sold as such and partly converted into metallic hafnium.
