The Facts of Zirconium
Zirconium element 40 is a chemical element.
• Zirconium is a silvery-white metallic transition metal.
•The name comes from the Persian word ‘zargon’ meaning gold-like.
•Zirconium is strong, malleable, ductile, and lustrous.
•Zirconium is generally exceptionally resistant to corrosion. It is however rapidly attacked by hydrofluoric acid, even at low concentrations.
•It's oxide (ZrO2) is white, like many of its compounds.
• In an oxygen atmosphere, finely divided Zirconium burns with the highest known temperature for a metal flame: 4460 oC.(4) Powdered zirconium can spontaneously ignite in air.
•Exposed surfaces of zirconium form a protective oxide layer.
•Zirconium tungstate (ZrW2O8) is an unusual substance: it shrinks when heated from near absolute zero to 780 oC(5).
•Precious stones containing zirconium, such as hyacinth and zircon, have been used as decorations since ancient times.
•Lithium zirconate can be used to absorb carbon dioxide. The reaction is reversible so the carbon dioxide can be released in a location of choice and the lithium zirconate used again. This application may be useful in addressing environmental concerns about the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
•Zirconium is used as to make surgical instruments and is used in steel alloys as a hardening agent.
•Zirconium is very poor at absorbing neutrons.
