Refractory Material/ Zircon Sand and Zircon Flour/ Powder
1.Structure of Zircon Sand and Zircon Powder
Zircon Sand, also known as Zircon, is a Chemical Compound, a Silicate of Zirconium, andits corresponding Chemical Formula is ZrSiO4. It occurs in nature as the Zircon, a Silicate Mineral. Ore is mined from natural deposits and concentrated by various techniques. It is separated from sand by Electrostatic and Electromagnetic methods. It can be made by fusion of SiO2 and ZrO2 in an arc furnace. It is usually colorless, but impurities induce various colorations. It is a fine white mineral powder that is chemically inert and stable.It is insoluble in water, acids, alkali and aqua regia. The tiny, round, solid ball shape of Zircon Sand provides a greater surface area for improved performance and dispersion in its application. It is also sometimes known as Zircon Flour, Zircon Powder, or Zirconium Silicon Oxide. Zircon is the generic name for Zirconium Silicate; the trade names are different (for example, Zircopax, Zircosil). It is used as an ingredient for its functional properties in several Industries.
2.Main Features of Zircon Sand and Zircon Powder
1 Tiny, round, solid ball shape provides greater surface area for improved performance and dispersion in its application
2 High refractory rating, lower specific gravity rating, and higher service temperature produces greater yield
3 With lower bulk density, it offers better air permeability for better performance as a result of its overall physical characteristics
