  2. Reformatsky reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reformatsky_reaction

    The Reformatsky reaction (sometimes transliterated as Reformatskii reaction) is an organic reaction which condenses aldehydes or ketones with α-halo esters using metallic zinc to form β-hydroxy-esters: [1] [2] The Reformatsky reaction. The organozinc reagent, also called a 'Reformatsky enolate', is prepared by treating an alpha-halo ester ...

  3. Dusty plasma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dusty_plasma

    [1] [2] Dust particles may form larger particles resulting in "grain plasmas". Due to the additional complexity of studying plasmas with charged dust particles, dusty plasmas are also known as complex plasmas. [3]: 2 Dusty plasmas are encountered in: Space plasmas; The mesosphere of the Earth [4] Specifically designed laboratory experiments [5]

  4. Organozinc chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organozinc_chemistry

    The Simmons–Smith reagent is used to prepare cyclopropanes from olefin using methylene iodide as the methylene source. The reaction is effected with zinc. The key zinc-intermediate formed is a carbenoid (iodomethyl)zinc iodide which reacts with alkenes to afford the cyclopropanated product. The rate of forming the active zinc species is ...

    Zinc oxide is used as a white pigment in paints. Roughly one quarter of all zinc output in the United States in 2009 was consumed in zinc compounds; [122] a variety of which are used industrially. Zinc oxide is widely used as a white pigment in paints and as a catalyst in the manufacture of rubber to disperse

  7. Reduction of nitro compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduction_of_nitro_compounds

    Raney nickel, platinum on carbon, or zinc dust and formic acid or ammonium formate [6] α,β-Unsaturated nitro compounds can be reduced to saturated amines by: Catalytic hydrogenation over palladium-on-carbon; Iron metal; Lithium aluminium hydride [27] (Note: Hydroxylamines and oximes are typical impurities.)

  8. Merrill–Crowe process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merrill–Crowe_process

    The Merrill–Crowe Process is a separation technique for removing gold from the solution obtained by the cyanide leaching of gold ores. It is an improvement of the MacArthur-Forrest process, where an additional vacuum is managed to remove air in the solution (invention of Crowe), and zinc dust is used instead of zinc shavings (improvement of Merrill).

  9. Zinc sulfide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_sulfide

    Zinc sulfide (or zinc sulphide) is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula of ZnS. This is the main form of zinc found in nature, where it mainly occurs as the mineral sphalerite . Although this mineral is usually black because of various impurities, the pure material is white, and it is widely used as a pigment.
