Chemical Composition 

Application

Zirconium is resistant to corrosion and is used primarily as a sheath material for fuel rods in nuclear reactors and as an alloy for corrosion resistance.

Zirconium is also used in X-ray diffraction instruments, and when molybdenum is used, zirconium is used to filter out other unwanted frequencies.

In organic chemistry, zirconium is a relatively new metal in the study of organic synthesis methodology in which transition metals are involved. Zirconium can form a five-membered ring or a six-membered ring with carbon, and then be attacked by other groups to leave, thus building the skeleton of organic matter.Many novel compounds can be synthesized using zirconium chemistry.

Zirconium alloys are often used in metal cutting. White zirconium dioxide is the main component of ceramic knives.
