ZIRCONIUM HYDRIDE Usage And Synthesis
Description
Zirconium(II) hydride, ZrH2, is a molecular chemical compound, which has been produced by laser ablation and isolated at low temperature. Zirconium(II) hydride has a dihedral (C2v) structure. In zirconium(II) hydride, the formal oxidation states of hydrogen and zirconium are 21 and 12, respectively, since the electronegativity of zirconium is lower than that of hydrogen. The stability of metal hydrides with the formula MH2 (M 5 Ti-Hf) decreases as the atomic number increases.
Chemical Properties
Gray-black metallic powder. Stable toward air and water.
Physical properties
Grayish-black powder; density 5.60 g/cm3; stable in water; soluble in dilute hydrofluoric acid; soluble in concentrated acids.
Uses
Zirconium Hydride, ZrH2, is a brittle, metallicgray solid that is stable in air and water, and has a density of 5.6 g/cm3. The chemical properties of ZrH2 closely resemble those of titanium hydride. Commercial uses are as a getter in the manufacture of vacuum tubes and other systems; as a hydrogen source for foaming metals; as a hydrogen reservoir; for the introduction of zirconium into powdered alloys; for metal–ceramic and metal–metal bonding; as a moderator in nuclear reactors; and as a source of Zr metal powder and alloys.
Uses
Zirconium(II) hydride (ZrH2) can be used as a precursor for:
- ?Reactive hot-pressing synthesis of Zr2SC ceramics by displacement reaction with the mixture of ZrC and ZrS2.,·?
- ?The synthesis of Mg-Zr hydrides by treating with MgH2 for hydrogen storage.???????
- The preparation of layer structured β-zirconium nitride chloride (ZrNCl) by reacting with NH4Cl.
Uses
Zirconium hydride is a powerful reducing agent in acid solution or at high temperatures; hydrogenation catalyst; in the vacuum tube industry.Also, it is used as a source of pure hydrogen and a catalyst in hydrogenation reactions. Some other applications are in powder metallurgy; as a moderator in nuclear reactors; and as a metal-foaming agent
Definition
Contains 1.7–2.1% combined hydrogen which can be driven off in a vacuum above 600C.
Preparation
Zirconium hydride may be prepared by heating zirconium oxide with magnesium in the presence of hydrogen: ZrO2 + 2Mg + H2 → ZrH2 + 2MgO
Alternatively, hydride may be made by heating zirconium oxide with calcium hydride in the presence of hydrogen
Hydride also may be obtained by combining zirconium metal with hydrogen at elevated temperature.
Production Methods
Zirconium hydride in powder form was produced by the reduction of zirconium oxide with calcium hydride in a bomb reactor. However, the workup was hazardous and many fires and explosions occurred when the calcium oxide was dissolved with hydrochloric acid to recover the hydride powder. With the ready availability of zirconium metal via the Kroll process, zirconium hydride can be obtained by exothermic absorption of hydrogen by pure zirconium, usually highly porous sponge. The heat of formation is 167.4 J/mol (40 kcal/mol) hydrogen absorbed.
General Description
This product has been enhanced for energy efficiency.
Hazard
Flammable, dangerous fire risk, especially in the presence of oxidizers.
Flammability and Explosibility
Flammable
Safety Profile
A powerful reducing agent. Flammable when dry or wet. Very dangerous to handle; can explode. Incandesces when heated in air. See also HYDRIDES and ZIRCONIUM COMPOUNDS.
