Zinc Selenide Production Cost Reports

Zinc Selenide production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Zinc Selenide production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Zinc Selenide. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Zinc Selenide is a polycrystalline translucent compound with the chemical formula ZnSe, and its molecular weight is 144.4 g/mol. It is a mixture of zinc and selenium, prepared by reacting zinc and hydrogen selenide. It is a light, yellow-colored crystalline compound with a chemically inert nature. It is non-hygroscopic and remains stable under normal conditions. Its density is 5.27 g/cm3, measured under a standard temperature of 25 °C.

Its melting point is measured approximately at 1,525°C. The compound is highly insoluble in water but can be dissolved in some chemical solvents, including concentrated hydrochloric acid. It is an inert chemical but rapidly oxidizes when heated at around 300 °C in the presence of air. It exhibits plastic deformation when heated at 500 °C and dissociates approximately at 700 °C. It decomposes on heating at an elevated temperature while releasing oxides of zinc and hydrogen selenide in the air.

Zinc Selenide belongs to the class of inorganic selenides and is mainly associated with optical and electronic industries. The compound possesses a wide transmission spectrum that can be used for the production of infrared or IR objects. It is utilized to produce optical objects, including windows, mirrors, lenses, and thermal imaging films. The compound can also be used in II-VI light-emitting diodes along with diode lasers, IR lasers, etc. Moreover, Zinc Selenide is also used in the production of X-rays’, gamma-rays’ detectors, and more.

The market for Zinc Selenide is strongly driven by its demand in the production of optical and electronic industries. Its applications in the production of infrared objects, including IR lenses, mirrors, optical windows, etc., increase its demand in the optical and electronic sectors. Its usage in the development of certain electronic devices, including diodes (such as II-VI light-emitting diode, diode lasers, etc.), along with X-ray and gamma-ray detectors, boosts its demand in the electronic industry. The procurement of Zinc Selenide is directly determined by its demand, market prices and supply in the global market. Hence, any variations observed in its demand, prices, and distribution significantly govern its procurement across the world.
