Zirconium and Hafnium Market Review also Includes Future Outlook of the World Zirconium and Hafnium Market

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Zirconium and Hafnium Market Review" report to their offering.

This report focuses on the study of the global Zirconium and Hafnium markets. It provides region analysis on Zirconium and Hafnium Production. It features major Zirconium and Hafnium producers, prices, supply and demand conditions, international trade, etc. The review also includes future outlook of the world Zirconium and Hafnium market.

The mineral zircon (zirconium silicate) is the principal zirconium commodity. Due to its very high melting temperature and chemical stability, it is used as a refractory in furnace and ladle linings, foundry sands and ceramic manufacture. Zirconium metal manufacture is a very small part of total output. Hafnium is always present in 1.5 - 3.0 weight % and has an almost identical chemistry to zirconium. This makes it difficult to separate the two and this is only done when absolutely necessary, such as for zirconium nuclear applications and the preparation of hafnium compounds
