Strontium water

The temperature data for the ethanol-water-strontium chloride system show that the curve for the liquid phase cuts the curve corresponding to the salt-free system. This tends to happen with salts that are very soluble in water and only slightly soluble or insoluble in ethanol (8,12). This is because, for a binary...

Solubility The chromates of the alkali metals and of calcium and magnesium are soluble in water strontium chromate is sparingly soluble. Most other metallic chromates are insoluble in water. Sodium, potassium, and ammonium dichromates are soluble in water. 

Although strontium is one of the major metal ion constituents in sea water, its concentration of 8.1 mg/1 is about 50 times lower than that of calcium. No procedures are known for a commercial recovery of strontium from sea water. Strontium can be extracted from sea water along with uranium and other elements by hydrous titanium oxide. However, only 120-fold concentration has been reached...

No reaction is visible when beryllium is placed in water, but bubbles of hydrogen are produced by the reaction of calcium with water. Strontium, barium, and radium react with water with increasing vigor. 

Strontium present in the atmosphere is in the form of wet or dry aerosols. The principal chemical species in the air is strontium oxide. Strontium oxide can undergo transformation to strontium ions by reaction with water. Strontium is dispersed by atmospheric cycling and subsequently deposited by wet deposition on the earth s surface. In surface and groundwater, strontium exists primarily as a hydrated ion. 

Strontium, present in crustal materials, is released by the weathering force of wind and water. Strontium leaves the oceans, the largest reservoir of dissolved strontium, by deposition in marine carbonate sediment. Some strontium is transported from oceans to the atmosphere in sea spray, returning to the terrestrial environment in the form of precipitation (Capo et al. 1998). 

In fresh waters strontium is present at higher concentrations than barium, but some mineral waters can be an exception. Both elements occur in surface and normal groundwaters at concentrations of only units or tenths of/igr ... 

In ocean water, strontium is the most abundant trace element at an average concentration of 8.1 ppm [8]. In natural water sources, such as rivers, springs, and wells, concentrations from 0.002 to 0.375 ppm, with an average of 0.06 ppm, were demonstrated [9,10]. In municipal water supplies in the United States, values were found to range between 0.002 and 1.2 ppm (median value = 0.11 ppm), depending on the source and hardness of the water. For hard waters of Texas the concentration even exceeded 1.2 ppm [10]. In air, strontium is normally not measured, since it is a natural pollutant from dust. 

The carbonate is prepared from celestite by mixing the mineral with powdered coal and heating the mixture to llOO C. Strontium sulfide is formed and is dissolved in water. Strontium carbonate is precipitated by adding carbon dioxide or soda. Elemental sulfur is an important byproduct Germany and Mexico are the largest pro-...

The alkali metals of Group I are found chiefly as the chlorides (in the earth s crust and in sea water), and also as sulphates and carbonates. Lithium occurs as the aluminatesilicate minerals, spodimene and lepidolite. Of the Group II metals (beryllium to barium) beryllium, the rarest, occurs as the aluminatesilicate, beryl-magnesium is found as the carbonate and (with calcium) as the double carbonate dolomite-, calcium, strontium and barium all occur as carbonates, calcium carbonate being very plentiful as limestone. 

Strontium is softer than calcium and decomposes in water more vigorously. It does not absorb nitrogen below 380oC. It should be kept under kerosene to prevent oxidation. Freshly cut strontium has a silvery appearance, but rapidly turns a yellowish color with the formation of the oxide. The finely divided metal ignites spontaneously in air. Volatile strontium salts impart a beautiful crimson color to flames, and these salts are used in pyrotechnics and in the production of flares. Natural strontium is a mixture of four stable isotopes.

Phosphoms oxyfluoride is a colorless gas which is susceptible to hydrolysis. It can be formed by the reaction of PF with water, and it can undergo further hydrolysis to form a mixture of fluorophosphoric acids. It reacts with HF to form PF. It can be prepared by fluorination of phosphoms oxytrichloride using HF, AsF, or SbF. It can also be prepared by the reaction of calcium phosphate and ammonium fluoride (40), by the oxidization of PF with NO2CI (41) and NOCl (42) in the presence of ozone (43) by the thermal decomposition of strontium fluorophosphate hydrate (44) by thermal decomposition of CaPO F 2H20 (45) and reaction of SiF and P2O5 (46). 

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. 

The product stream from the kilns is collected in storage bins. Black ash from the bins is fine-ground in a ball mill and fed to a leacher circuit, which is a system of stirred tanks, where it is dissolved in water and the muds are separated by countercurrent decantation. The solution from the decantation is passed through filter presses the muds are washed, centrifuged, and discarded. The filtered product, a saturated solution containing 12—13 wt % strontium sulfide, is sent to an agitation tank where soda ash is added to cause precipitation of strontium carbonate crystals ... 

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.
