Melting Point of ZnO .—The melting point of ZnO is above 1800° C and may be above its normal sublimation point. Volume Shrinkage and Porosity of ZnO Bodies .—A very hard and dense body composed of pure ZnO can be prepared. At high temperatures it exhibits the unusual phenomenon of volume shrinkage accompanied by an increasing porosity. Zinc Retort Bodies .—In the discussion the possible advantages of incorporating zinc oxide in a zinc retort body are mentioned.
