Zirconium is used in nuclear energy applications such as fuel cladding. Other uses are in alloys, fireworks, and flashbulbs and as a scavenger for oxygen and other gases.
Zirconium is the chemical element whose atoms contain 40 protons each. Zirconium is one of the transition metal elements.
The toxicity of zirconium is not very important; only the inhalation of zirconium and zirconium compounds powders is dangerous (as for many other materials) - leading to pneumoconioses. Also zirconium can be pyrophoric at high temperatures, in powdr form. Zirconium is used for surgical implants, stomatology - as zirconium dioxide, im some cosmetics. No nutitional use.
Additive in tooth pastes (as abrasive), component of some anti perspirants, oxygen sensors, zirconium dioxide knifes, golf clubs with zirconium dioxide or zirconium, electronic devices in a case of zirconium dioxide, component in some cell phones (zirconium titanate), etc.
Zirconium is primarily used in natural reactors, especially in the cladding of fuel rods. It is a corrosion resistant metal.
The molar mass of zirconium is approximately 91.22 grams per mole.
Zirconium is an element - as are silver and lead. Therefore, zirconium is not silver nor lead and, conversely, silver is not zirconium, lead is not zirconium.
No. Zirconium is an element and so it contains only zirconium.
A metal tube/pipe made of zirconium or a zirconium alloy.
Zirconium is a metal.
Zirconium has no odor.
Zirconium tetrachloride is obtained by the chlorination of zirconium dioxide (not zirconium carbide).
Zirconium is a natural chemical element; zirconium is found in some minerals.
