Zinc nitrate

zinc dinitrate

CAS 7779-88-6

Chemical Formula Zn(NO3)2

Molecular Weight 297.49 g/mol

Zinc nitrate anhydrous, with the chemical formula Zn(NO3)2, is a colorless, crystalline solid and is known for its deliquescent nature, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air. It's an inorganic compound primarily used as a catalyst in the manufacture of various chemicals, medicines, and dyes. While not combustible itself, it can intensify the burning of other materials and releases toxic nitrogen oxides when heated.

Industrial Uses

1. Performance Chemicals

  • ZnO Nanoparticles: Zinc nitrate is widely used to synthesize ZnO nanoparticles with various morphologies and properties.
  • Catalyst for Porous Carbons: Zinc nitrate is used as an activation agent and nitrogen source in the synthesis of nitrogen-doped porous carbons (NDCs), which are then used as CO2 adsorbents. 
  • Coordination Polymer Synthesis: Zinc nitrate is a key reagent for synthesizing coordination polymers in laboratory settings.

2. Metal Treatment

  • Galvanizing: Zinc nitrate is a key component in the galvanizing process, where a layer of zinc is applied to a metal surface (usually steel or iron) to protect it from corrosion. The zinc acts as a sacrificial layer, corroding preferentially to the underlying metal.

3. Fabric Solutions

  • Dyeing and Mordanting: Zinc nitrate is used as a mordant in dyeing, where it helps to bind dyes to fabrics, resulting in vibrant and long-lasting colors.
