Zirconium Silicate

Zirconium silicate is an important silicate material known for its high melting point, high chemical stability, low thermal expansion coefficient, and excellent wear resistance. It is widely used in industries such as ceramics, refractories, coatings, and foundry. Zirconium silicate is classified into natural and synthetic types. Natural zirconium silicate is purified through processes such as gravity separation, magnetic separation, and flotation to remove impurities, resulting in zircon sand. Zircon flour is produced by crushing, grinding, and classifying natural zircon sand into fine powder. Synthetic zirconium silicate is free from radioactivity and can be safely used.
