Versatile Roles of Zinc Compounds in Industry #
Zinc-based chemicals, particularly zinc oxide and zinc carbonate, play essential roles across various industrial sectors. Their unique properties make them valuable in water treatment, adhesives, and paints, supporting both performance and sustainability goals.
Water Treatment #
Zinc oxide is utilized in water treatment processes for its ability to neutralize toxic substances. It reacts with sulfur-containing gases or solutions, enabling the absorption of sulfur by porous materials and improving overall adsorption rates. This makes zinc oxide and zinc carbonate effective choices for enhancing water purification systems.
