Metal Thermal Reduction Method
The metal thermal reduction method utilizes the reaction of metal reducing agents with metal oxides or chlorides to prepare metals.
1. Calcium Reduction Method
Calcium reduces zirconium oxide to produce zirconium powder. ZrO2 is used as raw material, and pure metallic calcium is the reducing agent. The process involves mixing, sealing, vacuuming, and filling with argon. Then, the mixture is reduced at a temperature of 1000℃~1100℃. The reactant is a mixture of zirconium powder, calcium chloride, calcium oxide and excess calcium. The zirconium powder can be obtained by leaching it with hydrochloric acid. Then wash, crush, filter, dry, and screen it.
2. Calcium Hydride Reduction Method
To produce zirconium powder by reducing zirconium oxide with calcium hydride, first hydrogenate calcium and grind it into powder. Then, mix it with ZrO2, and reduce it at 1000℃~1100℃. The reaction product is a mixture of zirconium powder containing a small amount of hydrogen, calcium oxide, and a little excess calcium. Zirconium powder can be obtained by washing, grinding, screening and drying.
3.Sodium Reduction Method
The method for producing zirconium powder by sodium reduction of potassium zirconofluorate is to use K2ZrF6 as raw material. An appropriate amount of potassium chloride and sodium chloride molten salt is added. Then, the mixture is reduced at about 860°C. After that, the zirconium powder is obtained. It’s obtained by acid leaching, washing, grinding, and drying the reaction product.

Molten Salt Electrolysis
The electrolysis method uses potassium fluorozirconate and sodium chloride as raw materials. We dry them, heat and melt them, and insert them into the cathode for electrolysis. After electrolysis, zirconium is deposited on the cathode in the form of powder. The sediment is taken out, crushed, washed with water, washed with ethanol, and dried to obtain a purity of 99% high purity zirconium powder.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]
Hydrodehydrogenation

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=””]The hydrodehydrogenation method uses sponge zirconium or electrolytic zirconium as raw materials. During production, zirconium sponge is broken into particles (metal is cut into chips). Then, it is hydrogenated at 600°C to 700°C to make zirconium hydride. Zirconium hydride is crushed and dried. Then, it is put into a furnace and dehydrogenated at a temperature of 600°C~900°C to obtain zirconium powder.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Strict Quality Control of Zirconium Powder

X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF):
XRF is a non-destructive technique. It analyzes the elemental composition of zirconium powder. It helps determine the presence of impurities. It ensures that the desired zirconium concentration is achieved.
Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS):
ICP-MS is a highly sensitive method. It quantifies the elemental composition of zirconium powder. It can detect trace elements and impurities. This provides precise information about the material’s purity.
X-Ray Diffraction (XRD):
XRD is used to examine the crystal structure of zirconium powder. It confirms the presence of the desired zirconium phases. It also identifies any unwanted crystalline structures that may affect the material’s properties.
Particle Size Analysis:
Measuring the particle size distribution is crucial for zirconium powder quality. Techniques such as laser diffraction or sedimentation are employed to ensure that the powder meets specified size requirements. This is essential for various applications.
Chemical Analysis:
Conducting chemical analyses, including wet chemical methods, allows for a detailed examination of the chemical composition of zirconium powder. This method aids in confirming the absence of impurities and verifying the material’s purity.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=””]
