Description

Zirconium Carbonate Oxide is a versatile inorganic compound that serves as a crucial precursor in advanced material synthesis. Its unique combination of zirconium's refractory properties and the carbonate anion's reactivity makes it a valuable intermediate for producing high-purity zirconia and other specialty ceramics. This product is essential for manufacturers in the catalyst, ceramic, pigment, and electronics industries seeking consistent quality and reliable performance in their formulations.

Application

• Catalyst & Catalyst Support Manufacturing: Used as a precursor for zirconia-based catalysts in petroleum refining, automotive exhaust systems, and fine chemical synthesis.
• Advanced Ceramics & Refractories: A key raw material for producing zirconium dioxide (zirconia) used in structural ceramics, thermal barrier coatings, and high-temperature furnace linings.
• Electronic Materials: Employed in the fabrication of dielectric layers, piezoelectric components, and oxygen sensors.
• Pigment & Opacifier Production: Acts as an intermediate in the manufacture of zirconium-based opacifiers for ceramic glazes and specialty pigments.
• Water Treatment & Ion Exchange: Utilized in the preparation of adsorbents and ion-exchange materials for heavy metal removal.
• Glass & Enamel Additive: Improves chemical resistance, hardness, and opacity in specialty glass and enamel formulations.
• Precursor for Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): Serves as a source material for depositing zirconium-containing thin films.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture and carbon dioxide.
