In the conditions of the development of an independent state, there is a need for comprehensive research and rethinking of little-known pages of national history, including the history of industry. Among them, the history of individual enterprises, individual branches of industry, in particular, zirconium production, is relevant and insufficiently studied. Among the many fields of application of metallic zirconium, the use of its powders occupies a prominent place, primarily in pyrotechnics and ammunition production. The study of the history of the zirconium industry of Ukraine is also relevant in view of the need to draw the attention of government officials and the general public to production and technologies important for ensuring the country's defense capability. The first enterprise of the rare metal, in particular, zirconium industry of Ukraine, which organized the production of zirconium powders, was the Donetsk Chemical and Metallurgical Plant (DHMZ).
