How Is Zinc Nitrate Produced Industrially?

Zinc nitrate can be produced industrially by dissolving zinc oxide or zinc hydroxide in nitric acid. The reaction produces zinc nitrate and water as products. The resulting solution is then purified through a process known as solvent extraction to remove impurities. Finally, the solution is concentrated by evaporating the solvent until the desired concentration of zinc nitrate is achieved. The resulting product can be used in various industrial applications such as in the production of catalysts, dyes, and pigments.
