Use | Uses 80% of the zircon in the world is directly used in the foundry industry, ceramic, glass industry, and in the manufacture of refractories. A small amount of zircon used in ferroalloy, medicine, paint, leather, abrasive, chemical and nuclear industries. Very small amounts of zircon are used for the smelting of metallic zirconium. Red zircon can be used as a casting material for iron metal in a foundry. In combination with aluminum-containing minerals can be made of zirconium aluminum abrasive, can also be used as a glass kiln brick. Red zircon is a widely used material in the atomic energy industry, which is mainly used in nuclear reactors such as nuclear power plants, nuclear-powered ships and submarine. The coating containing zirconium has insulation properties, and can be used as insulating glass coating, anti-coking coating, refractory insulation coating and thermal insulation coating. |
