Zirconium dioxide (ZrO. 2), sometimes known as zirconia (not to be confused with zircon), is a white crystalline oxide of zirconium. Its most naturally occurring form, with a monoclinic crystalline structure, is the mineral baddeleyite. A dopant stabilized cubic structured zirconia, cubic zirconia, is synthesized in various colours for use as a gemstone and a diamond simulant. 1 Production, chemical properties, occurrence.
Zircon is a zirconium silicate product that is used for a wide variety of applications. The majority of the zircon sold is used in a variety of high temperature applications.Zircon is a very hard refractory material resistant to chemical attack.Most of its applications rely on these special properties of zircon.irconium dioxide, which is referred to as zirconia, is derived from further processing of the zircon product and is used in laboratory crucibles, metallurgical furnaces and as a refractory material.
