CAS:1314-13-2 Zinc Oxide Percent:99.5% 99.7% Solubility In Water Negligible
 
Chemical formula of zinc oxide
The chemical formula of zinc oxide is ZnO.
 
Chemical formula of zinc oxide
The chemical formula of zinc oxide is ZnO, where Zn represents the zinc element, whose valence is +2, and O represents the oxygen element, whose valence is -2. Therefore, the ratio of the number of zinc and oxygen atoms is 1:1, forming an inorganic compound called zinc oxide.
 
Preparation methods and common applications of zinc oxide
 
Zinc oxide can be prepared by a variety of methods, including calcination, hydrothermal, sol-gel and solution methods. Each method has its own characteristics and scope of application, and the appropriate preparation method can be selected according to specific needs. The calcination method is suitable for large-scale industrial production, while the sol-gel method can obtain zinc oxide powder with smaller particles and uniform distribution. The application of zinc oxide in the fields of environmental protection and new energy is also becoming more and more extensive, such as photocatalytic degradation of organic matter, solar cells, etc. With the advancement of science and technology and people's pursuit of high-quality life, the application scope of zinc oxide will continue to expand, and its importance will become increasingly prominent. In the future, through continuous research and innovation, zinc oxide is expected to create a better living and working environment for us.

Production Technology

The direct method, also known as the French process, involves the following steps:
1. Raw Material Selection: High-purity zinc materials such as zinc ore or zinc scrap are used.
2. Smelting: Zinc is heated and vaporized.
3. Oxidation: Zinc vapor reacts with oxygen in a controlled environment to produce fine zinc oxide powder.
4. Collection and Processing: The resulting ZnO is collected, filtered, and classified to ensure quality and uniformity.

Theory

The production of Zinc Oxide via the direct method is based on the principle of oxidation of metallic zinc in the presence of oxygen. The chemical reaction is:
2Zn + O₂ → 2ZnO
This process ensures the formation of high-purity zinc oxide with uniform particle size.
