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.
Background: Zirconium (Zr) is a grayish-white, metallic element with an atomic number of 40. It naturally combines with silica and oxygen to form the mineral zircon (ZrSiO4), the primary ore of this element.irconium is used in a number of industrial applications because it is so resistant to corrosion. It is used in pumps and valves and the cores of nuclear reactors. Zirconium oxide is used to make laboratory crucibles and to line furnaces.
