Zirconium Dioxide Production Cost Reports

Zirconium Dioxide production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Zirconium Dioxide production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Zirconium Dioxide. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Zirconium Dioxide is a chemical compound that is commonly known as zirconia. It is a white crystalline chemical oxide that is used to manufacture dental crowns on a large scale. Zirconia is an odorless material that is insoluble in water. It is also insoluble in hydrochloric acid and dilute sulfuric acid. It is a tasteless white compound that possesses a high melting point, high resistivity, high refractive index, and low thermal expansion coefficient. Its melting and boiling points are noted around 2700 °C and 4300 °C, respectively. It is a versatile chemical compound that has several industrial applications, showing an association with the chemical, ceramics, and metal industries.

The chemical compound exhibits a very high melting point, due to which it remains unreactive with molten aluminium, nickel, iron, platinum, acid slag, and silicates. Hence, crucibles made up of Zirconium Dioxide can be used to efficiently smelt palladium, platinum, cesium, ruthenium, and other platinum group metals and their derived alloys. The compound is also used for smelting various other elements such as sodium, quartz, potassium, glass, and salts.

It is the only ceramic fiber refractory that can be used for a long duration in an ultra-high temperature environment that can range over 1600 °C. It has several applications that hold high-temperature environments. It is also used for its better heat insulation performance than other alternatives such as alumina fiber, mullite fiber, aluminium silicate fiber, and more. The compound shows corrosion and oxidation resistivity and is non-volatile in nature.

Zirconium Dioxide as a refractory material is utilized in making the key parts of large glass tank kilns. The material is used in making dental crowns as it stands to be a stronger material than porcelain, making the teeth look as natural as possible. It exhibits anti-magnetic characteristics with electrical insulation. It is a wear-resistant, oil-free, self-lubricative chemical compound that can be utilized in extremely harsh environments to manufacture ceramic bearings. Additionally, it is used to make ceramic valves, ceramic knives, ceramic balls, bio-ceramic materials, and abrasive materials on a large scale.
