Sodium Zirconate Powder Description
Sodium Zirconate Powder (Na2ZrO3) is an inorganic compound consisting of sodium (Na), zirconium (Zr), and oxygen (O). It is a zirconate compound where zirconium exists in an oxidation state of +4, forming a stable structure with sodium and oxygen. Sodium zirconate is typically available as a fine, white or off-white powder and is used in a range of industrial and scientific applications, particularly due to its thermal stability and reactivity with carbon dioxide.
Sodium Zirconate Powder (Na₂ZrO₃) is a versatile material used in applications ranging from carbon dioxide capture to solid oxide fuel cells and high-temperature ceramics. Its reactivity with CO₂ and stability at high temperatures make it valuable in industrial processes aimed at reducing emissions, energy production, and material development.
