'''Zinc carbonate''' is the [[inorganic compound]] with the formula ZnCO3. It is a white solid that is insoluble in water. It exists in nature as the mineral [[smithsonite]]. It is prepared by treating cold solutions of zinc sulfate with potassium bicarbonate. Upon warming, it converts to basic zinc carbonate (Zn5(CO3)2(OH)6).{{cite book|author1=Wagenknecht, F. |author2=Juza, R. |chapter=Zinc carbonate|title=Handbook of Preparative Inorganic Chemistry, 2nd Ed. |editor=G.
