Zirconium hydride an ore, usually a zirconium silicate, such as zircon. Zirconium is extracted from zirconium ore by removing the oxygen and silica. This process, known as the Kroll process, was first applied to titanium. The Kroll process results in an alloy containing hafnium. The hafnium and other impurities are removed in a subsequent step. Zirconium hydride is created by combining refined zirconium with hydrogen. Like titanium, solid zirconium dissolves hydrogen quite readily. The density of zirconium hydride varies based the hydrogen and ranges between 5.56 and 6.52 g cm. Even in the narrow range of concentrations which make up zirconium hydride,
Zirconium lactate It is suspected of causing zirconium granulomas (a form of skin irritation) in a small number of users. Zirconium lactate Zirconium lactate is a zirconium complex derived from lactic acid. It is used in some deodorants. It is a colourless solid. Zirconium carboxylates adopt highly complex structures and are heterogeneous compositions with the approximate formula Zr(OH)(OCCHOHCH)(HO) where 1 < n < 3. It is also used in the petroleum industry as a cross-linking agent to prepare gels for fracturing fluids, fluids which are pumped into an oil-bearing rock formation to cause cracks in the rock and so to allow the
