The compound is prepared by dissolving zirconium tetrachloride, ZrCl4, or sodium zirconate, Na4ZrO4, in hydrochloric acid solution followed by evaporation to obtain crystals of octahydrate. Also, the compound can be prepared by reacting zirconium tetrachloride with chlorine oxide: ZrCl4 + Cl2O → ZrOCl2 + 2Cl2

CAS Number: 1314-23-4 Chemical Formula: ZrO2 Availability: Good Description: A fused cream powder. Also known as zirconia, zirconium dioxide. Hazard Class: No Applications: Structural ceramics, Refractories, pigments
