White amorphous powder. There are many variations of its crystal form, white powder to slightly cinnamon for monoclinic crystal system, yellow powder for cubic crystal system. Odorless and tasteless. The cubic crystal system has a relative degree of 5.6; The relative degree of monoclinic system is 5.85. Melting point is 2715 ºC. Insoluble in water, soluble in hot concentrated, sulfuric acid. The corresponding zirconate can be produced by co-melting with alkali. Chemically stable.
It is used for making and zirconium compounds, making refractory bricks and crucible, high-frequency ceramics, grinding materials, ceramic pigments and zirconate, etc
It is mainly used for piezoelectric ceramic products, daily ceramics, refractory materials and precious metal smelting zirconium brick, zirconium tube, crucible, etc. It is also used in the production of steel and non-ferrous metals, optical glass and zirconia fibers. Also used in ceramic pigment, electrostatic coating and baking paint. Used in epoxy resins to increase the corrosion of heat-resistant salt water.
