The properties of the most important zirconium compounds are correlated to the main ceramic applications of these compounds, namely, refractories, ceramic bodies, binders, cements, glazes, glasses, and enamels. A brief survey of the information available on the systems MgO‐ZrO 2 , TiO 2 ‐ZrO 2 , SiO 2 ‐Na 2 O‐ZrO 2 , and several other systems is included. The more specific ceramic properties are summarized in short descriptions of the applications to each single ceramic field. The ceramic uses of thorium oxide are listed.
