Zirconium carbonate is a white powdery solid, soluble in ammonium carbonate, soluble in organic acids, forming the corresponding organic acid zirconium, more soluble in inorganic acids, but insoluble in water and organic solvents. It is easy to decompose when heated, so it is not suitable for long-term storage. Zirconium carbonate can be converted into zirconia by high-temperature calcination. It is used as a treatment agent for the production of high-grade paints, high-grade coatings and fibers.
