In chemistry the term zincate may refer to several substances containing the element zinc:
In the health supplement industry zincate may also mean a commercially available zinc supplement, typically formulated as zinc sulfate.[ citation needed]
Solutions prepared from dissolving zinc hydroxide or zinc oxide in a strong alkali like sodium hydroxide, which contains various zincate anions, are used in the metal plating industry, in processes such as immersion zinc plating and electroplating ( electrogalvanization). Any of these techniques may be called zincate process. [3]
In the naming of inorganic compounds, "-zincate" is a suffix that indicates that a polyatomic anion contains a central zinc atom. Examples include tetrachlorozincate, ZnCl42−, the tetrahydroxozincate, Zn(OH)42− and tetranitratozincate, Zn(NO3)42−. More recent recommendations ( 2005), that are not widely used, would call the first two ions tetrachloridozincate(2−) and tetrahydroxidozincate(2−) respectively.
