Zinc Oxide: A versatile star in the chemical industry

The history of human use of Zinc Oxide CAS 1314-13-2 is long and profound. Although the exact time of its discovery is hard to verify, as early as 200 BC, the Romans had already mastered the technology of making brass by reacting copper with zinc ore containing Zinc Oxide CAS 1314-13-2. Nowadays, Zinc Oxide CAS 1314-13-2, as an extremely important inorganic compound, plays a significant role in numerous fields. Its chemical formula is ZnO, which is an oxide of zinc. It appears as a white solid and is insoluble in water and ethanol, but soluble in acids, sodium hydroxide aqueous solution and ammonium chloride.


Wide range of application fields

Zinc Oxide CAS 1314-13-2 can be regarded as an all-round player and is widely used in many fields such as industry, medicine and daily necessities.

In industrial manufacturing, it is a commonly used chemical additive in the production processes of products such as plastics, silicate products, synthetic rubber, lubricating oil, paint coatings, adhesives, batteries, and flame retardants. With a large band gap and exciton binding energy, as well as high transparency and excellent luminescence performance at room temperature.


In the semiconductor field, products ranging from liquid crystal displays, thin-film transistors to light-emitting diodes all rely on it.

In the medical field, Zinc Oxide CAS 1314-13-2 is often used in the production of ointments and has certain protective and therapeutic effects on the skin.

Meanwhile, it is also an important sunscreen agent, which can effectively absorb ultraviolet radiation and protect our skin from damage. Even in the food industry, Zinc Oxide CAS 1314-13-2 has its place. If it meets relevant standards, it can be used as a food additive.


Diversified production methods

The global annual output of Zinc Oxide CAS 1314-13-2 is as high as about 10 million tons, and its production methods are rich and diverse.


The common one is the direct method, which converts zinc into zinc vapor in a graphite crucible at a high temperature of 1000℃, and then oxidizes it with air to form Zinc Oxide CAS 1314-13-2. Finally, the Zinc Oxide CAS 1314-13-2 particles are collected after a cooling tube. The heavy metal content of the product obtained by this method is greatly affected by the raw material zinc ingots or zinc slag. Products with low heavy metal content can be used in industries with high purity requirements such as livestock feed and medicine.


The indirect method removes most impurities by heating and reacting Zinc Oxide CAS 1314-13-2 with coke, first reducing it to metallic zinc vapor, and then oxidizing it back to Zinc Oxide CAS 1314-13-2 by oxygen in the air.


There is also the wet chemical method, which is divided into the acid method and the ammonia method. After a series of complex processes such as filtration, washing, drying and calcination, high-purity light Zinc Oxide CAS 1314-13-2 with particle sizes ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers can be obtained.


In addition, the hydrothermal synthesis method conducts inorganic synthesis in a closed autoclave using a high-temperature and high-pressure environment. However, at present, due to the complexity of the process equipment and the high cost, it is only in the experimental stage. The spray thermal decomposition method involves spraying metal salt solutions in a mist form into a high-temperature atmosphere. Through solvent evaporation and thermal decomposition of metal salts, nano-oxide powders are obtained. The nano-powders prepared by this method have the advantages of high purity and good dispersibility, and have great potential for industrialization.
