What is Zirconium Tetrachloride (Zirconium Chloride)?

Zirconium tetrachloride, with the molecular formula ZrCl4, is a white glossy crystal or powder that is easily hygroscopic. The crude zirconium tetrachloride that has not been purified is light yellow, while the refined zirconium tetrachloride that has been purified is light pink. It is a raw material for the industrial production of zirconium metal and zirconium oxychloride, and is also used as an analytical reagent, organic synthesis catalyst, waterproofing agent, tanning agent, and used as a catalyst in pharmaceutical factories.

Chemical Composition Table of Zirconium Tetrachloride Enterprise Standard

Product garde Assay%
Zr+Hf Fe Al Si Ti
Crude zirconium tetrachloride ≥36.5 ≤0.2 ≤0.1 ≤0.1 ≤0.1
Refined zirconium tetrachloride ≥38.5 ≤0.02 ≤0.008 ≤0.0075 ≤0.0075

Particle size requirement: coarse zirconium tetrachloride 0-40mm; Refined zirconium tetrachloride 0-50mm.

This particle size standard is a common requirement for externally sold products, and there are no special regulations on product particle size during normal production. Packaging method: Zirconium tetrachloride packaging must be lined with plastic bags or covered with film packaging bags.

The net weight of each bag is 200kg, and packaging can also be customized according to customer specific requirements.

Application area

01In the field of chemical engineering, zirconium tetrachloride is an excellent metal organic compound catalyst widely used in chemical synthesis, olefin polymerization, and organic synthesis. It can catalyze various reactions such as alkylation, acylation, hydroxylation, etc., and is widely used in industries such as plastics, rubber, coatings, etc. In addition, zirconium tetrachloride can also be used to prepare other zirconium salts, such as zirconium chloride.

02 Electronics field: Zirconium tetrachloride is an important electronic grade precursor that can be used for manufacturing insulation materials, microelectronic components, and display devices. Zirconium tetrachloride has excellent performance at the microelectronic level and can be used as a practical powder material for thin films of electronic interfaces, impedance conversion circuits, and micro thermoelectric devices.
03 Pharmaceutical field: Zirconium tetrachloride is a more widely used contrast agent in clinical practice, which can be used as a component of intravenous injection of heterocyclic compounds and organic zirconium compounds. Zirconium tetrachloride can achieve various absorption, distribution, and metabolic effects in human tissues by adjusting the structure of the compound, making medical treatment safer, faster, and more cost-effective.
04 Aerospace field: Zirconium tetrachloride is a raw material used in the preparation of zirconium carbide ceramics, which can be used to produce high-performance high-temperature materials and corrosion-resistant materials. In addition, it can also be used as an infrared absorbing material and gas emission control material in the combustion chamber of gas turbines. Zirconium tetrachloride, as an important material in the aerospace field, ensures the performance of spacecraft components under high temperature, high pressure, and extreme environments.
