Zircon, also known as zircon silicate (ZrSiO4), is found in ancient mineral sand deposits. In the form of crystal sands, zircon is typically brown, but could also vary from colourless to yellow-golden, pink and red to blue and green.
The majority of zircon sand is mined in the African continent particularly Nigeria. Current annual global production is in excess of one million tonnes. Almost half of the zircon produced globally is consumed by China, with other significant consuming regions including Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific and India.
With our robust warehouse in Lagos the Southern part of Nigeria we can export 1000MT of this product per month.
zircon as a material for industrial ceramics, refractories (furnace or reactor lining materials that are resistant to high heat), to dyes.
the use of zircon is developing in a number of industrial sectors, including: ceramic Industry, PSZ (Partially Stabilized Zirconia) glass industry, Zircon flour industry (micronized zircon), zirconium chemical industry, Refractory brick industry Printing sand industry.
the use of micronized zircon or zircon powder in ceramic products accounts for almost half of the national consumption of this mineral. In the manufacture of ceramics, zircon flour serves as an opaque glaze for household items and ceramic tiles. Meanwhile, in the glass industry, zirconia (fused zircon) is used to produce glasses with special compositions, such as optical glass, fiber glass, color TV glass, and so on.
In addition, the use of zircon is quite high in the metal industry. This mineral is used in the metal industry because it has heat-resistant properties. In practice, zircon flour is used to coat metal products, such as steel and bone iron, especially dry coating to produce kitchen and bathroom products. The use of zircon flour is also applied in the production of refractory bricks used to line steel or glass smelting furnaces. Zircon is also used in the nuclear sector. In this field, zircon is used as a cladding material for nuclear reactor fuel. As a coating material, zircon can withstand very high heat which is the result of fusion reactions in nuclear reactors.

The composition of zircon sand can vary depending on the place of deposit. For example, zircon sand from Australia generally has a higher percentage of zirconium oxide than zircon sand from India. The composition of the zircon sand is crucial because it determines the characteristics of the zircon that can be formed from the metal. For example, zirconium copper with a high percentage of zirconium oxide will produce zircon with a high melting point and high corrosion resistance. The composition of the zircon sand is also essential in determining the extraction method of zircon from the ore for example, hafnium oxide-rich zircon copper is mined using hydrofluoric acid leaching. In general, the composition of zircon sand is an essential factor that affects the characteristics of zircon that can be produced from the ore and the methods that can be used to extract zircon from the ore.
Zircon ore composition varies slightly based on the source and what region of Nigeria it is collected. We encourage buyers to ask for a free sample for their composition analysis and evaluation of ready-to-ship material. Samples are free, but buyers should arrange to pick up a free piece with a courier service.

Zircon sand finds applications to be used in ceramics, refractory, foundry, electronics, zirconium compound, and other fields, it is also used in the preparation of nuclear reactor structural materials and control rod with zirconium and hafnium as irreplaceable raw minerals making it a strategic mineral.
It is used in ceramics as a major end-user, zircon sand is used as a glaze emulsion is ceramics such as glazed floor tiles, wall tiles, sanitary ware, and tableware.
Properties of Zircon Sand
Zircon is crystal and shows the structure of the quarter column. It usually occurs with ilmenite rutile, sillimanite, etc. in beach sand and is refined by water, electricity, and magnetic beneficiation process.
Pure zircon is a colorless and translucent crystal. It appears yellow, orange, red, and brown with different origins. Its hardness is 7.8, specific gravity 4.6-4.71, refractive index 1.93-2.01, and the melting point of 2550 C.
