Tetragonal prisms or needles. Deliquescent in moist air, evolves HCl and becomes dull in dry air. Soluble in H3O (slight hydrolysis) and alcohol. Lower hydrates are formed by heating a stream of HCl. It Liberates HCl on heating in air, and the solubility in water is gradually lost; it reverts to the oxide on calcination. Precipitation of an alcoholic solution with ether or acetone yields dizirconyl chloride Zr aO3Cl a -5HaO, which is sparingly soluble in water. The same compound deposits when a dilute aqueous solution of zirconyl chloride is allowed to stand for a month.
용도
Zirconium dichloride oxide is utilized as a precursor to prepare other zirconium compounds. It is employed in acid dyes, pigment toners and antiperspirants. It finds application as a rubber additive and a fiber treatment agent. It is also used in paint drying, refractories, ceramics and glaze.
일반 설명
This product is used as a potential green catalyst.
Purification Methods
Recrystallise the chloride several times from water [Ferragina et al. J Chem Soc, Dalton Trans 265 1986]. Recrystallisation from 8M HCl gives the octahydrate as white needles on concentrating. It is also formed by hydrolysing ZrCl4 with water. After one recrystallisation from H2O, 99+% grade zirconyl chloride had Ag, Al, As, Cd, Cu, Hf, Mg, Na, Sc and V at 20, 1.8, 0.6, 0.6, 0.4, 8.4, 0.4, 2.4, 80 and 3 ppm, respectively. (See above.)
