Chapter 6  The Genetic Material. The Basic Requirements for Genetic Material (i.e., the material that determines the inherited characteristics of a functional organism): 1  It must be stable.  It must be capable of being expressed when needed.
- In the manufacture of metal or alloys. Toxicology : Zirconium compounds are generally considered to be of low toxicity. Skin : Granulomata have been produced by repeated topical applications of zirconium salts to human skin.
Zirconium Chemicals. There is a wide range of zirconium chemicals, used either for their intrinsic properties in diverse applications, or as intermediates for manufacture of other derivatives of zirconium.The principal precursor or building block for zirconium chemicals is zirconium oxychloride, known as ZOC.ZOC is produced from zircon sand by a variety of processes, generally involving caustic fusion, dissolution in hydrochloric acid and separation.he principal precursor or building block for zirconium chemicals is zirconium oxychloride, known as ZOC.
