zincphosphate
Zinc phosphate refers to an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Zn3(PO4)2. It is a white, crystalline solid that is sparingly soluble in water. In nature, a hydrated form occurs as the mineral hopeite, Zn3(PO4)2·4H2O, illustrating that zinc phosphate can exist both as anhydrous and hydrated species.
Preparation and forms of zinc phosphate are diverse. It can be produced by combining zinc salts (such
