Discovery of DNA. Today, we know that DNA is the genetic material: the molecule that bears genes, is passed from parents to children, and provides instructions for the growth and functioning of living organisms. But scientists didnât always know this.

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.
