Product Overview
Strontium carbonate, 99.99% (metals basis), is a high-purity chemical compound widely used in laboratories for precise applications requiring minimal impurities. This fine, white powder offers excellent solubility in dilute acids while remaining insoluble in water, making it suitable for controlled reactions. Its high metal purity ensures consistent results in analytical procedures, glass production, and specialty chemical formulations. The compound’s stable nature under standard conditions allows for long-term storage without degradation, provided it is kept in a dry, airtight container. Strontium carbonate’s role in pyrotechnics, ceramics, and as a precursor for other strontium compounds further highlights its versatility. The 99.99% purity level guarantees minimal trace contaminants, which is critical for experiments demanding high accuracy. Whether used in small-scale research or bulk industrial processes, this grade of strontium carbonate delivers reliability and performance.
FAQs
1. What is the solubility of strontium carbonate in water?
Strontium carbonate is practically insoluble in water but dissolves readily in dilute acids like hydrochloric or nitric acid.
2. Is this grade of strontium carbonate suitable for pyrotechnic applications?
Yes, the 99.99% purity makes it ideal for pyrotechnics, where consistent color emission (red flames) is required.
3. How should I store strontium carbonate to maintain its purity?
Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and incompatible substances like strong acids.
4. Can this compound be used as a precursor for other strontium salts?
Yes, it serves as a common precursor for synthesizing other strontium compounds, such as strontium nitrate or strontium chloride.
5. What safety precautions should I take while handling strontium carbonate?
Wear protective gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. Avoid inhalation and ensure proper ventilation in the workspace.
