Effects of zinc oxide

Nano zinc oxide (ZnO) has a variety of uses and effects, mainly including the following aspects:

1.Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory: Nano zinc oxide has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, can inhibit the growth and reproduction of certain bacteria, and has an auxiliary therapeutic effect on skin infections. In addition, its anti-inflammatory effect reduces the inflammatory response of tissues by inhibiting the production and release of inflammatory mediators.

2. Anti-ultraviolet: Nano zinc oxide can absorb and scatter ultraviolet rays, play a sunscreen role, and protect the skin from ultraviolet damage. Its excellent ultraviolet shielding ability makes it widely used in sunscreen cosmetics and anti-ultraviolet materials.

3. Catalytic effect: Nano zinc oxide has extremely high chemical activity and excellent catalytic properties, and can be used to catalyze the photolysis of organic molecules, such as the catalytic photolysis of phenol and the catalyst for the direct synthesis of methanol by CO hydrogenation. Its high surface activity can improve the selectivity and catalytic efficiency of the catalyst.

4. Photocatalysis: Nano zinc oxide is a semiconductor material in photochemistry, has photocatalytic activity, and can be used to manufacture photocatalytic materials and photolyze organic matter.

Zinc oxide production method:

The process flow of zinc oxide production can be divided into three types: indirect zinc oxide, direct zinc oxide, and wet zinc oxide.

The direct method uses zinc ore, zinc ash, and zinc concentrate as raw materials, and then adds coal to reduce them to zinc vapor after high-temperature oxidation roasting. The zinc vapor is oxidized with hot air to obtain zinc oxide. The purity of the product of this process is low, generally between 75% and 95%, and the impurity content is high. The zinc oxide produced by the direct method is usually needle-shaped or rod-shaped crystals with coarse particles. In addition to the process and raw material quality adopted, the product quality is also related to the quality of the reducing coal, because the volatile zinc vapor is directly contaminated by the combustion products of the reducing coal.

Use the waste ash to remove impurities through the impurity removal equipment to obtain qualified zinc ash, and then add the qualified zinc ash to the coal and lime according to the technical requirements, mix and crush, and use the coal briquette machine to press the crushed materials into balls. The pressed zinc-containing coal balls are stacked and dried; the dried coal balls are smelted in a zinc oxide furnace, and the zinc oxide products are obtained after reduction, oxidation, cooling and collection.

Baked sand: The raw materials are roasted at high temperature, the purpose of which is to remove the impurities of lead, pickaxe, arsenic, sulfur and mercury to the maximum extent, and obtain high-quality baked sand, and the material acid is purified after the roasting smoke.

Agglomerate ore: Agglomerate ore enters the cooling and powder collection system after reduction in the zinc oxygen furnace to obtain zinc oxide to be processed, or is directly packaged into zinc oxide finished products.

Indirect method: The raw material of zinc oxide is the metal zinc ingot or zinc slag obtained through smelting. : The zinc ingot or galvanized slag obtained by electrolysis is placed in a high-temperature crucible, heated to 600~700℃ and melted, and then evaporated at a temperature above 1000℃ to form zinc vapor. The vapor is oxidized by oxygen in the air to produce zinc oxide. This oxidation process will emit a shining light accompanied by a decrease in temperature. Then the zinc oxide particles are collected in a dust collection chamber through a cooling conveying pipe for cyclone separation, and the fine particles are captured with a bag to obtain the finished zinc oxide. The purity of the zinc oxide product produced by the indirect method is 99.5%-99.7%. Indirect zinc oxide can be used for rubber, varistors, paints, phosphating solutions, films, thermal conductive materials, catalysts, livestock feed, medicines, medical care and other industrial materials.

Wet process: Although the purity and whiteness of zinc oxide produced by pyrometallurgy are very high, the particles are coarse and the specific surface area is small. In order to meet the market demand for zinc oxide with large specific surface area (active oxidizing property), a wet process for zinc oxide production has been developed. The wet process for producing zinc oxide uses zinc-containing materials as raw materials. First, a zinc-containing solution is prepared. Then, a zinc compound (such as zinc carbonate) that is easily converted into zinc oxide is precipitated from the purified zinc-containing solution. The zinc compound precipitate is calcined to obtain zinc oxide. The wet process can produce active zinc oxide with fine particle size and large specific surface area.
