CALAMINE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Uses

Antipruritic.

Uses

calamine has mildly astringent and cooling qualities, and is particularly useful for sunburned or irritated skin. Calamine is a mineral solution composed primarily of zinc oxide with the addition of approximately 0.5 percent ferric oxide.

Definition

1. A mineralconsisting of hydrated zinc silicate (2ZnO.SiO₂.H₂O). It is also known as hemimorphite.2. Zinc carbonate (ZnCO₃), which occursnaturally as a mineral also known as smithsonite.The carbonate is used medicinallyin suspension as a soothing lotion for sunburnand skin complaints. Formerly, thenatural mineral was used for this but nowmedicinal calamine is made by precipitatinga basic zinc carbonate from a solutionof a zinc salt. It is usually colored pink bythe addition of small quantities of iron(III)oxide.

Definition

calamine: A mineral form of zinccarbonate, ZnCO₃ (smithsonite), althoughin the USA the same name isgiven to a hydrated zinc silicate(hemimorphite). The calamine usedmedicinally in lotions for treatingsunburn and other skin conditions isbasic zinc carbonate coloured pinkwith a trace of iron(III) oxide.
