Calcium or magnesium ?

I read the 1958 patent of the Ames process by Spedding et al. Spedding said that he originally tried to use calcium metal to extract uranium metal from its tetrafluoride; however, the process produced a low yield of heavily contaminated uranium. He found that magnesium produced much better results. The patent for the Ames process is therefore limited to a uranium extraction process that involves magnesium, not calcium.

Ames process
The Ames process was developed during the Manhattan Project to refine uranium. Left to right:
  • Pressure vessel containing uranium halide and sacrificial metal being lowered into a furnace
  • After the reaction, remnant slag in the container
  • Uranium metal "biscuit" end product
