Zircon Silicate Powder Application

Zircon silicate powder is a white crystalline solid. Zirconium silicate powder is also a water-insoluble compound and has high stability under normal conditions.

Zircon silicate powder application

Zirconium silicate powder has good chemical stability and is widely used in the production of various building ceramics, sanitary ceramics, daily ceramics, and first-class craft ceramics. It can significantly improve the bonding performance of ceramic glaze and increase the hardness of ceramic glaze. In the glass industry, zirconium silicate is further used in the production of color picture tubes, emulsified glass, and enamel glazes. The melting point of zirconium silicate is very high: 2500 degrees Celsius, so it is also widely used in refractory materials, glass furnace zirconium ramming materials, castables, spray coatings, etc.

ZrSiO4 powder preparation method

Solid-phase reaction methods usually accomplish the preparation of ZrSiO4 powder. A common preparation method is to react zirconium sand (zirconia ore) and silica at high temperatures to obtain zirconium silicate. During this reaction, a reducing agent is used to reduce the oxidation state of zirconium. The preparation process requires strict control of reaction conditions and proportions to ensure the purity and quality of the product.
