ZINC OXIDE
[CODE NO. 3002]
Zinc Oxide - This is by far the most important Zinc compound. Zinc Oxide is valuable both for direct application and for production of other zinc compounds. Pure zinc oxide is white at ordinary temperatures, becoming yellow when hot. Its density depends to some extent on the method of manufacture; the accepted value is 5.68 gl cm3.
It does not melt, but sublimes at ordinary pressures. Zinc Oxide is the most important and widely used compound of zinc. A part from its direct uses in point industry, it has application in glass, rubber, ceramics, coated fibres, textiles, and pharmaceutical and toilet industries. It can be the base chemical for the manufacture of most of the zinc compounds.
Zinc oxide, also known as zinc white, is a course white or grayish powder. The degree of whiteness is affected by the presence of impurities it carries. Through effective heat treatment or by other methods, a whole series of colours ranging from white through yellow, green & brown to red can be obtained.
The process for zinc oxide manufacture can be roughly divided into two types, the direct processes and the indirect processes. The direct methods use zinc ores as a source of zinc and the product is commonly referred to as American Process. The indirect method use zinc metal as the raw materials and the product is known as French process.
Zinc oxide covers under the group of white pigments which are the main raw material for paint industry. There are others white pigments e.g.
1. Basic Carbonate White Lead
2. Basic Sulphate White Lead
3. Basic Silicate White Lead
4. 35% Leaded Zinc Oxide
5. Zinc Sulphate
6. Lithone
7. Titanium dioxide (A) & (R)
8. Zinc Sulphide
9. Titanium calcium (R)
But zinc oxide is very important and most useful pigment, because of its valuable properties. This has been in use for over a century. Because of its extreme whiteness, its ability to improve the drying and hardening character of paint films by reacting with oils present is one of most indispensible chemical required in paint industries. It is also used in rubber industries, ink manufacturing industries ceramic industries and have so many other uses. In India it is manufactured by the oxidation of pure zinc metal in a horizontal furnace. Demand of this product has been further enhanced because besides of said uses scientists and engineers have found its other uses, e.g. in the manufacture of zinc silicate which is used in fluorescent lamps and tubes.
