Zinc oxide is a versatile inorganic compound widely recognized for its numerous industrial and consumer applications. It is primarily known for its use as a white pigment in paints, sunscreens, and cosmetics, owing to its excellent UV-blocking properties and opacity. In addition to its role in pigmentation and sun protection, zinc oxide is utilized in the rubber and ceramics industries as a reinforcing agent and in the manufacturing of various chemical products, including zinc-based chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Its versatility, non-toxic nature, and ability to offer both aesthetic and functional benefits make zinc oxide a valuable and widely used compound in diverse fields.
Zinc ore is most commonly found as zinc carbonate (ZnCO3), known as calamine or smithsonite. It generally occurs as rounded, crystalline crusts or granular, honeycombed masses that have a vitreous or pearly luster and are typically dirty brown or grey in colour.
Nigeria is richly blessed with large deposits of Zinc ore in Ebonyi and Benue state. We can export top quality of this product in 1000-1500MT every month.

Zinc is a chemical element with the symbol Zn and atomic number 30. Zinc is a slightly brittle metal at room temperature and has a shiny-greyish appearance when oxidation is removed. It is the first element in group 12 (IIB) of the periodic table. In some respects, zinc is chemically similar to magnesium: both elements exhibit only one normal oxidation state (+2), and the Zn2+ and Mg2+ ions are of similar size. Zinc is the 24th most abundant element in Earth's crust and has five stable isotopes. The most common zinc ore is sphalerite (zinc blende), a zinc sulfide mineral. The largest workable lodes are in Australia, Asia, and the United States. Zinc is refined by froth flotation of the ore, roasting, and final extraction using electricity (electrowinning).
The zinc content of mined ore is usually between 3 and 10 percent. Almost all ores contain the lead sulfide mineral galena and small quantities of cadmium sulfide..
