The properties of zinc

Zinc is a blue-white metal. When the temperature reaches 225°C, zinc oxidation is intense. Zinc is easily soluble in acid and can easily replace gold, silver, copper, etc. from the solution. Zinc exists in the state of sulfide in nature. The main zinc-bearing mineral is sphalerite. There are also a small amount of oxidized ore, such as siderite, siderite and hemimorphite.
