Zinc oxalate

Zinc oxalate (CAS 547-68-2) is an inorganic zinc salt used industrially as a catalyst and chemical intermediate.

Where is Zinc oxalate used?

• Mining and hydrometallurgy: selective precipitating agent to recover zinc from leach solutions
• Pulp and paper: specialty chemical processes requiring zinc-based catalysis or treatment chemistry
• Textile and leather: auxiliary chemical in surface treatment and finishing formulations
• It serves as a solid-state precursor in the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles and catalytic materials.

Good to know: Buyers should confirm purity specifications and moisture content with suppliers, as these parameters directly affect performance in precipitation and thermal decomposition applications.

Commercial specifications

• Controlled decomposition on heating; precursor for high-purity zinc oxide
• Packaging options from kilogram-scale laboratory quantities to larger commercial volumes
