antimony. I recognized that if I used a standard freezing technique to grow the crystals, the antimony would tend to seg- regate, thus producing a crystal wit11 n nonuniform distribution of the solute. To remedy this I thought to grow the crystal by passing a short melted zone along the ingot in the hope of leveling

This technique involves the processing of a bleed stream from the refining cells in an up to three-stage electrowinning process. To remove antimony and bismuth effectively, copper must first be plated from the electrolyte to lower its concentration, as it has the highest reduction potential and will plate preferentially to antimony and bismuth.
If zone refining is conducted on a grown single crystal or on the interface of a single crystal seed with an ingot, then the product of the zone refining process would be a single crystal and the process is called "zone melting". Zone melting is also considered as a technique to grow single crystals [1], [2], [3]. The zone refining ...
After the added sodium carbonate is molten, compressed air is blown into the antimony liquid for basic refining.

Pfann wanted to add antimony but knew it would segregate and yield a nonuniform distribution if he used stan dard crystal freezing techniques. So he melted a short length of the lead ingot and added the antimony to the molten zone. Moving the furnace along the length of the crystal spread the antimony uniformly as the crystal froze again.
