Strontium solubility

Strontium sorption behavior was consistent with the strontium solubility behavior described earlier. Both HEDTA and EDTA significantly decreased strontium sorption through formation of poorly sorbed anionic complexes (4). Close inspection of the test data suggested that increased sodium ion concentration might have led to decreased strontium sorption. The competition of strontium with sodium for sorption sites had been observed previously for Hanford sediments (13). 

Coatings, Paints, and Pigments. Various slightly soluble molybdates, such as those of zinc, calcium, and strontium, provide long-term corrosion control as undercoatings on ferrous metals (90—92). The mechanism of action presumably involves the slow release of molybdate ion, which forms an insoluble ferric molybdate protective layer. This layer is insoluble in neutral or basic solution. A primary impetus for the use of molybdenum, generally in place of chromium, is the lower toxicity of the molybdenum compound. 

Strontium Peroxide. Commercial strontium peroxide contains about 85% Sr02 and 10% active oxygen. It can be made by heating strontium oxide ia the preseace of oxygea gas uader 20 MPa (200 atm) pressure, or by reactiag a soluble stroatium salt with hydrogea peroxide. The only substantial appHcation for this compound is ia pyrotechnics (qv). Strontium peroxide [1314-18-7] produces a red color ia flames. 

Strontium Acetate. Strontium acetate [543-94-2] Sr(CH2C02)2, is a white crystalline salt with a specific gravity of 2.1, and it is soluble to the... 

Strontium carbonate is a colorless or white crystalline soHd having a rhombic stmcture below 926°C and a hexagonal stmcture above this temperature. It has a specific gravity of 3.70, a melting point of 1497°C at 6 MPa (60 atm), and it decomposes to the oxide on heating at 1340°C. It is insoluble in water but reacts with acids, and is soluble in solutions of ammonium salts. 

In another process, strontium sulfate can be converted to strontium carbonate direcdy by a metathesis reaction wherein strontium sulfate is added to a solution of sodium carbonate to produce strontium carbonate and leave sodium sulfate in solution (6). Prior to this reaction, the finely ground ore is mixed with hydrochloric acid to convert the calcium carbonates and iron oxides to water-soluble chlorides. 

Strontium Chromate. Strontium chromate [7789-06-2] SrCrO, is made by precipitation of a water-soluble chromate solution using a strontium salt or of chromic acid using a strontium hydroxide solution. It has a specific gravity of 3.84 and is used as alow toxicity, yellow pigment and as an anticorrosive primer for zinc, magnesium, alurninum, and alloys used in aircraft manufacture (8) (see Corrosion and corrosion control). 

Strontium bromide [10476-81 -0] SrBr2, forms white, needle-like crystals, which are very soluble in water (222.5 g in 100 mL water at 100°C) and soluble in alcohol. The anhydrous salt has a specific gravity of 4.216 and a melting point of 643°C. 

Strontium chloride [10476-85-4] SrCl2, is similar to calcium chloride but is less soluble in water (100.8 g in 100 mL water at 100°C). The anhydrous salt forms colorless cubic crystals with a specific gravity of 3.052 and a melting point of 873°C. Strontium chloride is used in toothpaste formulations (see... 

Strontium hydroxide, Sr(OH)2, resembles slaked lime but is more soluble in water (21.83 g per 100 g of water at 100°C). It is a white dehquescent sohd with a specific gravity of 3.62 and a melting point of 375°C. Strontium soaps are made by combining strontium hydroxide with soap stocks, eg, lard, tallow, or peanut oil. The strontium soaps are used to make strontium greases, which are lubricants that adhere to metallic surfaces at high loads and are water-resistant, chemically and physically stable, and resistant to thermal breakdown over a wide temperature range (11). 

Other. Insoluble alkaline-earth metal and heavy metal stannates are prepared by the metathetic reaction of a soluble salt of the metal with a soluble alkah—metal stannate. They are used as additives to ceramic dielectric bodies (32). The use of bismuth stannate [12777-45-6] Bi2(Sn02)3 5H20, with barium titanate produces a ceramic capacitor body of uniform dielectric constant over a substantial temperature range (33). Ceramic and dielectric properties of individual stannates are given in Reference 34. Other typical commercially available stannates are barium stannate [12009-18-6] BaSnO calcium stannate [12013 6-6] CaSnO magnesium stannate [12032-29-0], MgSnO and strontium stannate [12143-34-9], SrSnO. ... 

OC-Hydroxycarboxylic Acid Complexes. Water-soluble titanium lactate complexes can be prepared by reactions of an aqueous solution of a titanium salt, such as TiCl, titanyl sulfate, or titanyl nitrate, with calcium, strontium, or barium lactate. The insoluble metal sulfate is filtered off and the filtrate neutralized using an alkaline metal hydroxide or carbonate, ammonium hydroxide, amine, or alkanolamine (78,79). Similar solutions of titanium lactate, malate, tartrate, and citrate can be produced by hydrolyzation of titanium salts, such as TiCl, in strongly (>pH 10) alkaline water isolation of the... 

Compared to the hydroxides of calcium and strontiuim, barium hydroxide is the most water-soluble and also the strongest base. Additionally, barium hydroxide is more difficult to convert to the oxide by heating than are the corresponding hydroxides of calcium and strontium. Barium oxide is more readily converted to the peroxide than are the oxides of the other alkaline earths. 

Reduction of BaSO appears to begin about 900°C (15). The presence of iron or iron oxide can cataly2e the barium (9) and also strontium reduction reaction rates. However, iron impurity can also increase the acid-soluble content of the black ash (9). 

Recommendations by the ACGIH are classified as threshold limit values (TLV) based on 8-h TWA. Chromium metal and alloys, Cr(II) compounds and Cr(III) compounds, including chromite ore, have a TLV of 0.5 mg/m Cr in air. Water-soluble Cr(VI) compounds have a TLV of 0.05 mg/m Cr. Certain water-insoluble Cr(VI) compounds, ie, the chromates of 2inc, barium, calcium, lead, strontium, sintered chromic acid, and processing chromite ores, also have a TLV of 0.05 mg/m as well as a human carcinogen designation (145). 

Family of the scientist has presented documentar y materials to Academy of sciences in June 1974. Among them, the most important ar e manuscripts, typewritten copies about 100 scientific works of the scientist and working materials to them. Its includes articles, reports, monographs, the textbooks written by A.K. Babko during last 25 year s working writing-books with extracts, marks on various questions, abstracts of chemical literature responses and reviews on thesis of Ph.D. and doctor s degrees, on ar ticles, books, textbooks. For example, early works Product of solubility , To a technique of definition of strontium in minerals (1940-s), many unpublished works in 1940-1960, etc. 

To be effective, there must be a certain minimum concentration of inhibitor at the interface to be protected. Therefore, there must be sufficient inhibitor in the primer, and these inhibitors need to be soluble enough in water to enable transport of inhibitor to the oxide surface as water permeates the adhesive joint. However, too high of a solubility will rapidly deplete the primer layer of inhibitor resulting in a loss of protection. One of the fortuitous properties of zinc and strontium chromates is the limited solubility of these compounds in water (about 1.2 g/1 at 15°C [33]). 

Water-borne primers may or may not contain chromate-based corrosion inhibitors. The limited solubility of chromate salts in water makes them less than ideal for use in water-based primers, and much work has gone into developing alternatives [36], but the performance of recently developed water based primers using strontium chromate as the corrosion inhibitor is excellent, however, and appears equivalent to the solvent-borne analogues [37]. 

Self regulating chromium The self-regulating chromium solutions were introduced to eliminate the need for maintaining the correct catalyst concentration by periodic analysis they depend on the addition of a sparingly soluble sulphate to the bath which supplies the correct amount of SO 4 automatically. Initially strontium sulphate (solubility approx. l-75g/l at 30°C and 21 g/1 at 40°C) was employed for this purpose. The strontium sulphate forms a layer on the bottom of the bath, which must be stirred from, time to time. A bath with a CrO, concentration of 250 g/1 would have a catalyst content of l 52g/l SrS04 and 4-35 g/1 of KjSiF. Potassium dichromate and strontium chromate have also found application as additives for the control of the saturation solubility of the catalyst. 

Strontium chromate should, and does, dissolve spontaneously to form a 0.0010 M water solution. As you might expect, its solubility at 25°C lies between 1M and 0.0010 M, at about 0.0060 M. 

The sparingly soluble sulphates (e.g. those of barium, strontium, and lead) also exhibit increased solubility in acids as a consequence of the weakness of the second-stage ionisation of sulphuric acid (K2 = 1.2 x 10 2 mol L1) ... 

Determination of barium as sulphate Discussion. This method is most widely employed. The effect of various interfering ions (e.g. calcium, strontium, lead, nitrate, etc., which contaminate the precipitate) is dealt with in Section 11.72 The solubility of barium sulphate in cold water is about 2.5 mg L"1 it is, however, greater in hot water or in dilute hydrochloric or nitric acid, and less in solutions containing a common ion. 

In the past, dissociation of the nucleoprotein complex has been brought about by salt solutions or by heat denaturation,129 but, more recently, decomposition has been effected by hydrolysis with trypsin,126 or by the use of dodecyl sodium sulfate130 or strontium nitrate.131 Some virus nucleoproteins are decomposed by ethyl alcohol.132 This effect may be similar to that of alcohol on the ribonucleoproteins of mammalian tissues. If minced liver is denatured with alcohol, and the dried tissue powder is extracted with 10% sodium chloride, the ribonucleoproteins are decomposed to give a soluble sodium ribonucleate while the deoxyribonucleoproteins are unaffected.133 On the other hand, extraction with 10 % sodium chloride is not satisfactory unless the proteins have first been denatured with alcohol. Denaturation also serves to inactivate enzymes of the tissues which might otherwise bring about degradation of the nucleic acid during extraction. 

It is also possible to isolate bis(carbene) complexes involving the heavier alkaline earth metals. Thus, the reaction of two equivalents of 4 (R = Me or (Bu, R = H) with calcium, strontium and barium bis(trimethylsilyl)amides [M N(SiMe3)2 2(thf)2] (M = Ca, Sr, Ba) resulted in the displacement of two thf molecules to afford the corresponding biscarbene species, 19 (19). The solubilities and stabilities of these complexes were found to decrease from calcium to barium. 

The content of heavy metals in Steppe soils is tightly connected with their contents in geological rocks. In formation of soil exposure pathways in Desert ecosystems, water-soluble forms of these metals play the most important role. We can see an analogy between the increasing content of elements in soil dead organic matter as a function of decreasing water excess in Forest ecosystems and the increasing content of water-soluble species of chemical elements in the soils of Dry Steppe and Desert ecosystems as a function of enhanced aridity. The accumulation of water-soluble species occurs in the upper horizon for almost all elements, with exception of strontium. The main factor responsible for the accumulation of water-soluble forms is connected with evapotranspiration. 

All sulfates are soluble except those of barium, strontium, lead, calcium, silver, and mercury (I). 

Strontium acetate is neither a weak acid nor a weak base—it is a salt. As a soluble salt, it is a strong electrolyte and it will dissociate as follows ... 

Verbeeck (66) found that the solubility behavior could be explained by assuming ideality his value for the logarithm of the solubility product of pure strontiumhydroxyapatite was -52.3. Hence, the value of D is 18 in favour of Ca incorporation and against Sr incorporation in mixed precipitates. This seems to be in agreement with discrimination against strontium in the bones and teeth of living organisms.
