Zirconium oxide finds use in ceramic stains for coloured glazed tiles, high temperature refractory materials and in glass polishing. It is also used in alkali resistant glasses, electrochemical industries, corrosion resistant materials and as opacifier.

Zirconium(IV) Oxychloride Octahydrate (Zirconyl Chloride Octahydrate) is a water-soluble zirconium compound used as a reagent in the formation of zirconia thin films, a intermediate for other zirconium-based salts and catalysts, a cross-linking agent, and an additive to titanium dioxide pigments to increase durabiliy

process of producing zirconium oxychloride is to roast the mixture of zirconium concentrate and sodium hydroxide; water is used to remove the silicate, and then, hydrochloric acid is added to dissolve zirconium, and some solid and undissolved materials are filtered out.
