What is zinc sulfide?
The chemical formula of zinc sulfide: is ZnS. Relative molecular weight 97.44 Properties: white to grayish white or light yellow powder. The light color darkens. It is stable in dry air and gradually oxidizes to zinc sulfate when left in wet air for a long time or contains water. It is soluble in dilute inorganic acid and insoluble in water and alkali solutions. Relative density 3.98 α Type), (d25) 4.102 β Type). Irritant. Storage: sealed, dry, and protected from light Electronic vacuum coating, X-ray fluorescent screen, luminescent dial with trace radium or new thorium salt added for the watch, TV fluorescent screen, paint pigment.
The working principle of zinc sulfide is
The function of zinc sulfate is to inhibit zinc-bearing minerals. Its principle is to form a layer of hydrophilic zinc-bearing mineral film on the surface of easily floating sphalerite to inhibit sphalerite. The zinc sulfate used in mineral processing is generally industrial grade, and its content is more than 90%.
 
What are the benefits of zinc sulfide for plants?
Zinc is mainly used as a metal activator of enzymes in plants. Carbonic anhydrase is the earliest zinc-containing metalloenzyme, which is widely distributed in plants and mainly in chloroplasts. It catalyzes carbon dioxide's hydration and promotes carbon dioxide's fixation in photosynthesis. Zinc deficiency reduces the activity of carbonic anhydrase.
 
The harm of zinc sulfide to human body
Too much zinc is harmful to the human body. A large amount of zinc entering the human body will cause dizziness, vomiting, and diarrhea. When zinc is melted, its vapor rapidly oxidizes into zinc oxide smoke in the air. People will get sick after inhaling zinc oxide smoke for 4-8 hours. First, they will feel weak and have muscle aches, headaches, dizziness, cough, shortness of breath, and a metallic smell in the mouth. Then the fever reached 38-39.5oC. After several hours of sweating, the fever subsided. During the fever, white blood cells increase, and there may be transient proteinuria and diabetes. This is called "casting fever," which is a transient acute poisoning, and the whole course of the disease mostly disappears within 24 hours.
 
Price of zinc sulfide
Zinc sulfide particle size and purity will affect the product's price, and the purchase volume can also affect the cost of zinc sulfide. A large amount of large amount will be lower. The price of zinc sulfide can be found on our company's official website.
