Zirconium oxychloride was prepared from fused zirconia with the acid-alkali method. The effects were studied of fused zirconia-sodium hydroxide proportion, alkali fusion temperature and alkali fusion time on the conversion rate of zirconium during alkali fusion. The results show that the optimum conditions for alkali fusion are as follows : mass ratio of fused zirconia to sodium hydroxide 1 : 1,alkali fusion temperature 790 ℃ and alkali fusion time 1.5 h. Zirconium oxychloride prepared with the above method has a main grade of 36. 25%, Zr recovery rate reaches 91% ,Na2SiO3consumption reduces by more than 98% ,and alkali consumption can be reduced by 52%.
