Zinc Oxide
Product Introduction
Zinc Oxide Production Processes
Our zinc oxide production processes include the direct process, indirect process, and wet process, each offering distinct advantages and properties.
-
Direct Process (American Process)
The direct process uses impure zinc sources, such as zinc ores, as raw materials. Zinc vapor is produced through heating with a reducing agent and then oxidized in air to form zinc oxide powder. This process is economical but results in relatively high contaminant levels.
-
Indirect Process (French Process)
The indirect process, also known as the French process, uses zinc ingot as the raw material. Zinc vapor is produced through heating and then oxidized in air to form zinc oxide powder. This process is widely used and produces high-quality zinc oxide with excellent chemical reactivity, making it suitable for pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and electronic applications.
-
Wet Process
The wet process involves the use of solvents to leach zinc from raw materials. Impurities are removed, and zinc compounds precipitate out, which are then dried and calcined to produce zinc oxide powder. This process allows for customization in the structure of the end product, such as porous particles with high surface areas, known as active zinc oxide.
