Iranian Knowledge-Based Firm Localizes Production of Raw Material for Aviation Industry
“Zirconium oxide chloride salt is the raw material for the synthesis of zirconium and its derivatives from our knowledge-based products, the production of which lasted for about six years,” Bahman Khorrami, the head of research team in an Iranian knowledge-based company located in the science and technology park of West Azarbaijan province in Northwestern Iran said.
Stating that the salt has been already produced in several countries, he added, “This substance is used as a raw material in nuclear, automotive, turbine, and aviation industries.”
"We, in the company, have been capable of localizing production of zirconium oxide chloride salt," he underscored.
The project manager stated that industrial production of the product can bring good income for the country, adding, “The raw material of this product is zirconium silicate, which is available inside the country.”
As regards the applications of the oxide, he said, “This substance has the ability to dissolve metal in water and use it in the production of ceramics and aircraft," Khorrami added.
