Application

Zirconium Hydroxide serves as a crucial intermediate in various industries, primarily utilized for its water-insoluble and slightly alkaline amphoteric properties. This amorphous powder plays a significant role in the creation of pigments, dyes, and glass colorants. When subjected to temperatures of 550°C, it decomposes to form zirconium oxide, which further extends its applicability. Additionally, through reactions with dilute mineral acids, such as hydrochloric, sulfuric, and phosphoric acids, zirconium hydroxide is pivotal in producing various zirconium salts, including chlorides, sulfates, and phosphates. Its versatility and stability in higher pH environments make it a valuable component in the development of a wide range of zirconium-based compounds.
