97% Strontium carbonate is the raw material for the production of strontium metal and other strontium compounds

►Description

Strontium carbonate, whose chemical formula is SrCO3, is a fine, white powder

whose properties are similar to those of calcium carbonate (lime). SrCO3 is very

little soluble in water; it dissolves in acids, for example in hydrochloric acid,

developing carbon dioxide as follows: SrCO3 + 2 HCl -> SrCl2 + H2O + CO2.

Strontium is in the group of the alkaline earth metals .

It is non-toxic just like calcium, which is in the same group. The chemical similarity

of strontium and calcium, however, accounts for the fact that the radioactive

strontium isotopes that formed during the Chernobyl reactor accident have been

able to deposit in the bones to trigger cancer.

Strontium carbonate, among other things, is used for manufacturing ferrite

magnets that serve to extract strontium ferrite. Its main application is the production

of glass for cathode ray tubes, better known as (color) television tubes. Since

strontium carbonate has a relatively large atomic radius, it absorbs the X-radiation

that occurs in the tubes. Through addition of SrCO3 and other compounds, the X-

radiation disappears almost completely. It is due to today’s LCD and plasma

screens, however, that the production of cathode ray tubes is more and more

decreasing. Strontium carbonate is also used in glazings. Pyrotechnics rely on the

chromophoric salts of strontium to give flames their crimson color.
