Abstract
Adjusting the zone length properly and continuously along the ingot during zone melting substantially increases the separation efficiency by controlling the solute concentration in the liquid zone. Considerable improvement in separation was obtained by employing the process with a partially optimized zone length versus distance.Keywords
