Zn, Zinc Ore Mineral Analysis

Among the non-ferrous metals, zinc is the third most used metal after aluminum and copper. Aluminum, copper and zinc metals are used in the construction of brass and other special alloys used in the casting industry to increase the corrosion resistance of iron and steel. Zinc also finds use in the production of roofing materials and in the rubber industry as zinc oxide.

Zn, Zinc Ore Mineral Analysis

Zinc is mainly used in galvanized production (50 percent). It is also used in rice production (20 percent), casting operations (15 percent), zinc oxide production (8 percent) and semi-fabricated products (7 percent). Since zinc is a metal with ecotoxic effects, it has a limited use, for example in the building and construction industry. Aluminum, magnesium and plastics are used as zinc substitutes, especially in the automotive industry.

It is not possible to isolate the sulphide ores produced in our country, that is, the opportunity to separate the metal content from the ore. For this reason, enriched zinc lead ores or concentrates are exported.

In ancient times, zinc was used by Romans and the Chinese especially for making brass. A piece of sculpture unearthed in Romania is the oldest zinc archaeological ruin. 88 percent of this statue is zinc. Zinc entered the European market in the seventeenth century.

Today, zinc is used to obtain alloys in various sectors, as it is a chemically active substance and can easily alloy with other metals. It has a strong electropositive property and is also used for the protection of iron steel products against abrasion.

Zinc analyzes are also carried out within the scope of heavy metal analysis in advanced laboratories. Zinc is an element that is also encountered in cosmetic products and foodstuffs today. In the analysis studies, the presence of zinc in the sample and the amount, if any, are determined.
