Zinc metal with health
If Zinc or zinc is discussed, many people will think of a metal that can be used as a roof, a dish, as well as various utensils. But few people know that zinc is actually more closely related to humans than zinc. Zinc is also a metal. Zinc oxide is used as a medicine. It is also a vital element to the existence of life.
Zinc is one of the most important nutrients in the human body, an important component of many enzymes in the human body. Help in growth And human systems promote the functioning of the immune system.
What is ZnO or Zinc Oxide?
ZnO or zinc oxide is known as Cala mi Which is ancient Egyptian It is a natural element from Smithsonite. Humans use zinc oxide to treat the disease since ancient Egypt.
Zinc Oxide is a fine white particle powder. Is a substance that inhibits the bacteria. (Anti-bacteria) is not toxic to the body. In addition to killing bacteria, it also prevents and inhibits bacterial cell division. For this reason, zinc oxide is one of the most important antimicrobial agents. It also protects against UV-A and UV-B rays.
What is ZnO Nano or Zinc Oxide Nano?
Zinc oxide nano It is a product derived from the process of transforming the size of zinc oxide particles into smaller particles at the nanometer level. Particularly fine particle powder with nanometer (10-9 m) high purity particle size. White and colorless Can protect against UV-A and UV-B rays. Antibacterial deodorant is used in many industries.
The synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles has four methods.
- Coprecipitation
- Sol-gel
- Hydrothermal
- Flame spray Pyrolysis
For Nanomaterials Technology Co., Ltd. uses Flame spray Pyrolysis in the process of producing zinc oxide nanoparticles.
