Zirconium Oxychloride ZrOCl2 Applications

Production of Zirconium Metal and Alloys:

Zirconium Oxychloride is a key precursor in the production of zirconium metal. It undergoes reduction processes to produce zirconium metal, which is widely used in nuclear reactors, aerospace, and high-temperature applications.

Catalyst in Chemical Reactions:

It is used as a catalyst or catalyst precursor in several chemical processes, such as the production of polyethylene and other organic chemicals. ZrOCl₂ can also serve as a catalyst in organic synthesis.

Production of Zirconia (ZrO₂):

Zirconium Oxychloride is an important starting material for producing zirconia (ZrO₂), a high-performance ceramic used in applications like abrasive materials, refractories, and in fuel cell technology.

Zirconium Oxychloride ZrOCl2 FAQs

Q1: What is Zirconium Oxychloride?

A: Zirconium Oxychloride (ZrOCl₂·8H₂O) is an inorganic compound and a water-soluble salt of zirconium. It appears as white to pale yellow crystals and is commonly used as a precursor for producing zirconium-based materials.

Q2: Is Zirconium Oxychloride hazardous?

A: While not highly toxic, ZrOCl₂ is corrosive and can cause irritation to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. It should be handled with proper PPE and stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area.

Q3: Can ZrOCl₂ be used in fuel cells or ceramics?

A: Yes. It is a common precursor for zirconia-based materials, which are widely used in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), ceramic membranes, and abrasive tools.
