Manufacturing process of Zinc acetate
Step 1: Raw Material Selection
- Select high-purity Zinc Oxide or Zinc Carbonate as the zinc source.
- Use Acetic Acid as the reacting agent.
- Ensure raw materials meet pharmaceutical or industrial-grade specifications.
Step 2: Reaction Process
- Add Zinc Oxide or Zinc Carbonate to a reactor containing Acetic Acid.
- Maintain controlled temperature and stirring for complete reaction.
- Allow the reaction to form a clear Zinc Acetate solution.
Step 3: Filtration
- Filter the reaction mixture to remove impurities and unreacted solids.
- Ensure a clear and purified Zinc Acetate solution.
Step 4: Concentration & Crystallization
- Heat the filtered solution under controlled conditions to concentrate it.
- Cool the concentrated solution to allow Zinc Acetate crystals to form.
Step 5: Centrifugation & Drying
- Separate the formed crystals using centrifugation or filtration.
- Dry the product in a tray dryer or vacuum dryer to remove residual moisture.
Step 6: Milling & Sieving
- Grind and sieve the dried Zinc Acetate to achieve the desired particle size.
- This step ensures uniformity and better solubility for pharmaceutical applications.
Step 7: Quality Control & Packaging
- Conduct quality testing for purity, moisture content, and compliance with GMP standards.
- Pack the final Zinc Acetate in HDPE drums, fiber drums, or customized packaging as per customer requirements.
