About Zirconium Element
Zirconium, with the atomic number 40, is a transition metal widely used in the nuclear industry due to its remarkable properties. The element is primarily extracted from the mineral zircon, a major source of zirconium compounds. Zirconium is highly resistant to corrosion and has a low neutron absorption cross-section, making it an ideal material for use in nuclear reactors, where it is used as cladding for nuclear fuels. One of the most significant zirconium compounds is zirconium dioxide (ZrO₂), which is employed in various high-temperature applications, including the production of ceramic materials.
The discovery of zirconium dates back to 1789 when the German chemist Martin Klaproth isolated it from the mineral zircon. Since then, zirconium has become crucial in the production of nuclear power, where it serves not only as a cladding material but also in various nuclear reactor components. It is processed into pure zirconium for such applications, while its compounds, including cubic zirconia, are widely used in jewelry and industrial applications. The versatility of zirconium in both nuclear energy and commercial uses highlights its importance as a raw material in modern technology.
Zirconium Metal and Zirconium Alloys
Zirconium is a fairly strong, malleable, ductile, lustrous silver-gray metal. It has similar chemical and physical properties to titanium. Zirconium is extremely immune to heat and corrosion. Zirconium’s hardness is analogous to copper and it is lighter than steel. When it's finely divided, the metal can spontaneously ignite in the air, especially at high temperatures. Zirconium doesn't dissolve in acids and alkalis.

Zirconium Applications
Zirconium is employed in alloys like zircaloy, which is employed in nuclear applications since it doesn't readily absorb neutrons. Zirconium is also utilized in catalytic converters, percussion caps, and furnace bricks. Zirconium oxide (zirconia) is often utilized in lab crucibles.
