Description

Zirconium oxychloride, also known as zirconyl chloride, is a white inorganic compound with the formula ZrOCl2. It is commonly found as a hydrate with the formula ZrOCl2ยท8H2O. Zirconium oxychloride is an important precursor for other zirconium compounds and has various industrial applications. It is typically synthesized by reacting zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) with hydrochloric acid (HCl). Zirconium oxychloride is used in the production of zirconium metal, ceramics, and pigments. It is also used as a catalyst in organic synthesis. Research into zirconium oxychloride focuses on its applications in material science, catalysis, and environmental remediation. Its potential toxicity and environmental impact are also subject to ongoing research.'

Research Excerpts

Effects

ExcerptReferenceRelevance
"Zirconium oxychloride has effectively reduced significant amount of slow reducing agents (SRA) as well as fast reducing agents (FRA), which correspond to the rate of reduction in phenolic groups from water enriched with Natural Organic Matter (NOM) which eventually decreased trihalomethane mediated cancer risk by ~ 2.3 times among adults as compared to aluminium sulphate."( Understanding the coagulant activity of zirconium oxychloride to control THMs formation using response surface methodology.
