Zinc chloride has a wide range of uses. Battery grade zinc chloride is the mainstream product in the market.

Zinc chloride, also known as zinc chloride powder and zinc salt, is an important product in the inorganic salt industry. Its chemical formula is ZnCl2 and it is an inorganic compound. Zinc chloride appears as white crystalline powder with no special odor. It is soluble in methanol, ethanol, ether, glycerol and water, but insoluble in liquid ammonia. Zinc chloride has the characteristics of easy hygroscopicity and good conductivity. It is widely used in pesticides, medicines, catalysts, dehydrating agents, preservatives and other fields.

The main preparation methods of zinc chloride include wet method, direct method and indirect method. Wet method includes ammonia method and acid method. This method requires the removal of raw material impurities first, then adding sodium carbonate, rinsing, filtration, roasting and other processes to obtain zinc chloride; the direct method refers to the treatment of zinc concentrate under high temperature conditions. Roast, then add reducing agent, and obtain zinc chloride through high-temperature reduction; the indirect method is suitable for producing high-purity zinc chloride. Usually, zinc ingots or zinc slag are melted under high-temperature conditions to generate zinc vapor, which is then oxidized and cooled. Zinc chloride is prepared by other steps.

Zinc chloride has a wide range of applications. In the printing and dyeing industry, zinc chloride can be used to produce mordants, weighting agents, mercerizing agents, zinc ion additives, etc.; in the textile industry, zinc chloride can improve the adhesion of chemical fibers, and is used for the production of shuttles, sliver barrels, etc. The main raw material; in the pharmaceutical field, zinc chloride has antibacterial and wound healing effects, and can be used to produce dentin desensitizers, hemostatics, etc. According to the “2023-2027 Zinc Chloride Industry In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report released by the Industrial Research Center, With the increasingly strong market demand, the development of the zinc chloride industry is accelerating, and the global zinc chloride market will reach US$310 million in 2022.

In recent years, battery-grade zinc chloride has gradually become the mainstream product in the zinc chloride market. Battery grade zinc chloride is an important raw material for zinc chloride batteries and is widely used in medium and large energy storage power stations. Compared with traditional carbon-zinc batteries, zinc chloride batteries have the advantages of long service life, good leakage resistance, low temperature resistance, and high energy density, and are suitable for heavy power consumption scenarios. The increasing prosperity of the zinc chloride battery industry has driven the market demand for battery-grade zinc chloride to become increasingly strong, creating broad development space for the zinc chloride industry.

Shijiazhuang Deying Chemical Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Huayuan Bio-High-tech Co., Ltd., and Dongtai Coastal Zinc Industry Group Co., Ltd. are the leading zinc chloride companies in my country. As the production technology of local enterprises matures, my country’s zinc chloride production and quality continue to improve.

Industry analysts said that zinc chloride has excellent comprehensive properties and is widely used in many fields. With the gradual release of market demand, the future of the industry The development prospects will be broader. With continuous breakthroughs in energy storage technology, battery-grade zinc chloride has gradually become a mainstream product in the zinc chloride market. Driven by the rapid development of segmented products, the zinc chloride market space will be further expanded.
