Strontium carbonate by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. Also known as Strontianite, this is the carbonate salt of strontium. The reagent is available as a white powder which is poorly soluble in water. It has a melting point of 1494 C. Strontium carbonate can be generated using naturally occurring celestine which is also known as strontium sulphate. While it is stable under general conditions, this reagent is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. CAS No.: 1633-05-2 Quantity Provided: 500 gm per bottle Molecular formula: SrCO3 Molecular weight: 147.63 Assay: 98 Strontium carbonate has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. Strontium carbonate is widely used as an inexpensive colorant in fireworks. It is also used in the manufacturing of color television receivers (CTVs) to absorb electrons resulting from the cathode. Sodium carbonate additionally acts as a flux and further modifies the color of certain metallic oxides. Strontium carbonate is also used to produce strontium ferrites for permanent magnets. Strontium carbonate is also used to prepare iridescent glass, luminous paints, strontium oxide or strontium salts and in refining sugar and certain drugs. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
