    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_toxicity

    Metal toxicity or metal poisoning is the toxic effect of certain metals in certain forms and doses on life.Some metals are toxic when they form poisonous soluble compounds. . Certain metals have no biological role, i.e. are not essential minerals, or are toxic when in a certain for

  4. Zirconium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zirconium

    Zirconium compounds have no known biological role, though the element is widely distributed in nature and appears in small quantities in biological systems without adverse effects. There is no indication of zirconium as a carcinogen. The main hazards posed by zirconium are flammability in powder form and irritation of the eyes.

  5. Cubic zirconia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_zirconia

    Discovered in 1892, the yellowish monoclinic mineral baddeleyite is a natural form of zirconium oxide. [2] The high melting point of zirconia (2750 °C or 4976 °F) hinders controlled growth of single crystals. However, stabilization of cubic zirconium oxide had been realized early on, with the synthetic product stabilized zirconia introduced ...

  6. Corium (nuclear reactor) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corium_(nuclear_reactor)

    Zirconium from zircaloy, together with other metals, reacts with water and produces zirconium dioxide and hydrogen. The production of hydrogen is a major danger in reactor accidents. The balance between oxidizing and reducing chemical environments and the proportion of water and hydrogen influences the formation of chemical compounds ...

    Materials which have received considerable attention are hafnium silicate, zirconium silicate, hafnium dioxide and zirconium dioxide, typically deposited using atomic layer deposition. It is expected that defect states in the high-κ dielectric can influence its electrical properties.

  9. Baddeleyite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baddeleyite

    Baddeleyite is a rare zirconium oxide mineral (ZrO 2 or zirconia), occurring in a variety of monoclinic prismatic crystal forms. It is transparent to translucent, has high indices of refraction, and ranges from colorless to yellow, green, and dark brown.
