Production Technology

The direct method, also known as the French process, involves the following steps:

1. Raw Material Selection: High-purity zinc materials such as zinc ore or zinc scrap are used.

2. Smelting: Zinc is heated and vaporized.

3. Oxidation: Zinc vapor reacts with oxygen in a controlled environment to produce fine zinc oxide powder.

4. Collection and Processing: The resulting ZnO is collected, filtered, and classified to ensure quality and uniformity.

Theory

The production of Zinc Oxide via the direct method is based on the principle of oxidation of metallic zinc in the presence of oxygen. The chemical reaction is:

2Zn + O₂ → 2ZnO

This process ensures the formation of high-purity zinc oxide with uniform particle size.
