Zirconium silicate, with the chemical formula ZrSiO₄, has a theoretical chemical composition of 67.1% ZrO₂ and 32.9% SiO₂, and a molecular weight of 183.3071. It is white or off-white powder, non-toxic and odorless. Zirconium silicate has a high refractive index ranging from 1.93 to 2.01, which makes it potential for application in some optical materials. Its Mohs hardness is 7-8, its specific gravity is 4.6-4.7, its melting point is as high as 2550℃, its decomposition point is 1550℃, and its thermal expansion coefficient is 4.5×10⁻⁶. These properties give zirconium silicate good chemical stability, it is insoluble in water and acid, and it is not easy to react chemically with other substances under normal conditions.

Application fields of composite zirconium silicate

Composite zirconium silicate is a functionalized material formed by doping, composite modification or combining with other materials on the basis of zirconium silicate (ZrSiO₄). Its performance is more diverse than that of traditional zirconium silicate, and its application field is also wider. The following analyzes its core application scenarios from different industry dimensions:

Preparation method of zirconium silicate

The common preparation method is to mix zircon quartz and soda ash in a certain proportion, and then send them into a high-temperature furnace and roast them at a temperature of about 1100℃. The product after roasting needs to be crushed and then sent to the purification tank. In the purification tank,
