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.
