Rare Earth Minerals - Zirconium Concentrate

Zirconium Concentrate is a naturally occurring mineral rich in zirconium silicate (ZrSiO₄), typically found in heavy mineral sands. It is known for its high heat resistance, chemical stability, and corrosion resistance, making it a valuable raw material for ceramics, refractories, nuclear energy, and specialty alloys. 

Zirconium Concentrate appears as light brown to grayish granules and is processed to extract zirconium and hafnium for industrial applications. 

✔️ High chemical stability with resistance to corrosion and heat.
✔️ Essential for nuclear, aerospace, and high-tech industries.
✔️ Low impurity levels, ensuring premium quality in ceramics and metallurgy.
✔️Versatile applications across construction, chemical, and energy sectors.
