Raw Material for Zinc Telluride Production

According to the Zinc Telluride manufacturing plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Zinc Telluride include Zinc Metal-Tellurium.

Manufacturing Process of Zinc Telluride

The extensive Zinc Telluride production cost report consists of the following major industrial manufacturing process:

• From Zinc Metal and Tellurium: The manufacturing process of Zinc Telluride involves a thermal reaction. In this process, zinc metal and tellurium go through a thermal reaction in the presence of hydrogen. The reactants are heated to high temperatures, causing them to sublimate and react in the gas phase, forming Zinc Telluride as the final product.

Zinc Telluride has a molecular formula of ZnTe, and its molecular weight is 193.0 g/mol. It is a greyish to brownish red-colored solid, and its density is 6.34 g/cm³ under a standard temperature of 25 °C. It is a semiconductor material that remains stable under standard conditions. However, it decomposes when heated at a high temperature while emitting toxic fumes of tellurium in the air. It is a moderately toxic chemical crystal, and its melting point is measured at approximately 1,238 °C. The crystal decomposes when combined with water. All these physical and chemical properties contribute to its usage in electrical and electronic industries.
