How is Zirconia Powder made?

Co-precipitation Method

The co-precipitation method refers to a solution containing two or more kinds of cations. They exist in a homogeneous phase in the solution. After adding the precipitant and allowing the precipitation reaction, you can obtain a variety of components. This method is important for preparing ultrafine powders of composite oxides containing two or more kinds of metal elements.

Hydrothermal Method

The hydrothermal method uses an aqueous solution as the reaction medium. It takes place in a special closed reaction vessel(autoclave). When the reaction vessel is heated, it creates a high-temperature and high-pressure environment. This allows normally insoluble or insoluble substances to be re-dissolved and recrystallized.

Sol-gel Method

The sol-gel method is a widely used method for preparing ultrafine powders. It uses a colloidal dispersion system to form a stable sol of Zr(OH)4 colloidal particles below tens of nanometers. The mixture is then processed to form a gel with lots of water. Then, it's dried, dehydrated, and calcined to get ultrafine zirconia powder.

Metal Alkoxide Method

The metal alkoxide method uses characteristics of some metal organic alkoxides. They can dissolve in organic reagents and hydrolyze when exposed to water. This generates hydroxide or oxide precipitation to prepare ultrafine powder. Metal alkoxides can easily decompose into precipitates such as alcohols and oxides or their hydrates when exposed to water. Nano-ZrO particles can be obtained from these precipitates through processes such as filtration, drying and calcination.
