As one of the most versatile compounds on earth being used by multiple and various industries and fields, zinc oxide also has various ways to manufacture it. While the American and French process are the most popular ones, there are also several other ways and one of them is called the spray pyrolysis process. Here’s everything you need to know about this particular zinc oxide production method. 

Atomized Solution

The spray pyrolysis process is probably the coolest way to produce zinc oxide. This is because in this process, a heated creator chamber is needed where an atomized precursor solution containing zinc would be inserted. Typically, the precursor solution is a zinc salt that has been dissolved in a solvent. 

After the atomized solution is inserted into the reactor, it would undergo a rapid process of pyrolysis and evaporation. After that, zinc oxide particles would be formed which then would be collected in order to be processed to achieve certain and specific qualities and also characteristics.

Popular for Electronic Industries

The zinc oxide particles manufactured from this particular zinc oxide production process are popular among several industries such as electronics, advanced ceramics and also catalysts. This is because the pyrolysis process allows the precise control of zinc oxide particles’ composition, morphology and also particle size. 

Not only that, the spray pyrolysis process is also allowing the ultrafine zinc oxide particles to be produced which has a narrow distribution of size. This quality is one of the main reasons why the zinc oxide particles made from the spray pyrolysis process are very desirable for electronic industries.

That is everything you need to know about one of zinc oxide production methods, the spray pyrolysis process which is less popular, but clearly has its very own advantages.
