Humans have learned to use zinc oxide as paint or topical medicine for a long time, but it is difficult to trace the
history of the discovery of zinc oxide by humans. In the ancient Indian medical work "Chakara Benji", a drug that was
later identified as zinc oxide was used to treat eye diseases and trauma. In the first century AD, the Greek physician
Dioscorides also mentioned the use of zinc oxide as an ointment. Avicenna described zinc oxide as the drug of
choice for the treatment of various skin diseases, including skin cancer, in the "Recipe for Remedies" completed in
1025. Nowadays, people no longer use zinc oxide to treat skin cancer, but it is still widely used to treat other
common skin diseases. As early as 200 BC, the Romans learned to make brass by reacting copper with zinc ore
containing zinc oxide. Zinc oxide is converted into zinc vapor in the shaft furnace and rolled into the flue to react.
Dioscorides also introduced this.
From the 12th century AD, the Indians got to know zinc and zinc mines and began to smelt zinc in the original way
of Chemicalbook. Zinc smelting technology was introduced to China in the 17th century. In 1743, Bristol, England,
established the first zinc smelting plant in Europe. Another main purpose of zinc oxide is to be used as a coating,
called zinc white. In 1834, zinc white became a watercolor paint for the first time, but zinc white was difficult to
dissolve in oil. But soon the problem was solved by the new zinc oxide production process. In 1845, Leclerc began
mass production of zinc white oil paints in Paris. By 1850, zinc white became popular throughout Europe. The purity
of zinc white was so high that at the end of the 19th century, some artists painted zinc white as a
color.However, these paintings showed cracks after a hundred years. In the second half of the 20th century, zinc
oxide was mostly used in the rubber industry. In the 1970s, the second major use of zinc oxide was copy paper
additives, but in the 21st century, the use of zinc oxide as copy paper additives has been eliminated.
