Zirconium Nitrate: Zirconium Hydroxide Dissolved in Nitric Acid and Evaporated (Roscoe 1913)
Zirconium hydroxide dissolves in nitric acid; evaporated gently, the solution leaves zirconium nitrate as a yellow gummy mass. Evaporated in vacuo over caustic soda and phosphorus pentoxide it gives very hygroscopic crystals instead.
Result: zirconium nitrate, which ignites to pure zirconia.
