Abstract
A new process for preparing pure, anhydrous zirconium trichloride, tribromide, and triiodide is described. The appropriate tetrahalide vapor is mixed with hydrogen at a pressure of 3 to 4 mm and passed through a glow discharge. The zirconium trihalide which is formed is subsequently freed from adsorbed or unreduced contaminants by heating in vacuo. (auth)
