zinc ash/dust/powder/dross
Chemical Properties:
(1) Zinc powder is insoluble in water but soluble in acid, alkali and ammonia water.
(2) Has strong performance of reducing action and it can releases hydrogen in the reaction with acid or alkali.
(3) Is easy to form lumps due to dampness. It is easy to produce white basic carbonate on its surface in the wet air, but stable in the dry air.
(4) Bruning issue of blue green flame, accompanied by combustion of zinc oxide.
Usage of Zinc Powder:
1. Zinc powder is the main raw materials of paint,
2. Coating and chemical products such as sodium zincate, zinc oxide as well as the reducing agent in organic synthesis.
3. Besides, zinc powder is widely used in metallurgical industry (electrolytic zinc), battery industry as well as pesticide, feed, dyestuff and manufacturing industry.
