Zirconium mining and general information
General Information about Zirconium
General information about zirconium begins with the fact that this element is contained in about 40 minerals, On an industrial scale, this metal is extracted from ore waste of the following minerals
- zircon;
- baddeleyite;
- Eudialyte .
The largest reserves of ores are in such countries as Australia, South Africa, India, Mozambique and China. It is worth mentioning that extraction of the metal is increasing annually as zirconium including other refractory and rare metals is practically an irreplaceable component of the nuclear power and metallurgical industries.
Technical Characteristics
The chemical symbol Zr) is a steel-gray metal with a yellowish tint, It is obtained from ore concentrates or by remelting zirconium waste. It is malleable almost like gold, with paramagnetic properties,
| Specific gravity | 6.506 g/cm3 |
| Atomic weight | 91,2 |
| Oxidation state | 0, +1, +2, +3, +4 |
| Melting point | 1852 °C |
| Boiling point | 4409 °C |
| Specific heat of melting | 19.2 kJ/mol |
This corrosion resistant ductile metal with a melting point of about 1852 °C and a boiling point of 4409 °C has a number of definite advantages. Its main advantages are represented by the following properties:
- heat resistance;
- Corrosion resistance (including in seawater, alkalis and acids);
- ductility;
- malleability;
- malleability.
Moreover, it has a quality that even many rare metals do not have - the ability to maintain its characteristics under the influence of high and cryogenic temperatures.
