The mineral was not known to contain a new element until 1789, when Klaproth analyzed a jargoon from the island of Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean. He named the new element Zirkonerde (zirconia). Zirconium was first isolated in an impure form in 1824 by Berzelius by heating a mixture of potassium and potassium-zirconium fluoride in a small decomposition process conducted in an iron tube.
The crystal bar process (or Iodide process), discovered by Anton Eduard van Arkel and Jan Hendrik de Boer in 1925. It was superseded in 1945 by the much cheaper Kroll process developed by William Justin Kroll, in which zirconium tetrachloride is broken down by magnesium.
Zirconium (CAS NO.7440-67-7) is used in weapons such as the BLU-97/B Combined Effects Bomb for incendiary effect. It is used as an alloying agent due to its high resistance to corrosion. It is also a component in some abrasives, such as grinding wheels and sandpaper.
