Discovery of DNA. Today, we know that DNA is the genetic material: the molecule that bears genes, is passed from parents to children, and provides instructions for the growth and functioning of living organisms. But scientists didnât always know this.
Dixon Chew is a leading UK manufacturer of Reactive Zirconium Chemicals. Our modern, well-equipped manufacturing facility located in Dewsbury has been built for flexible and reliable processing aimed at minimising order turn round times, maximising yields and reducing our environmental impact.
Zircon, ZrSiO4, the principal ore, is pure ZrO2 in crystalline form having a hafnium content of about 1%. Zirconium also occurs in some 30 other recognized mineral species. Zirconium is produced commercially by reduction of chloride with magnesium (the Kroll Process), and by other methods.
