STRONTIUM CARBONATE LR
Strontium carbonate is used for electronic applications. It is used for manufacturing color television receivers (CTVs) to absorb electrons resulting from the cathode. It is used in the preparation of iridescent glass, luminous paint, strontium oxide, and strontium salts and in refining sugar and certain drugs.
Heating the sample will consume all the strontium carbonate, SrCO3 , only to leave behind strontium oxide and give off carbon dioxide, CO2 .
Strontium salts are used in fireworks to produce crimson red flames after ignition and it is not possible to get into direct contact with airborne strontium carbonate nanoparticles during the burning process.
Strontium carbonate solubilities were measured in water and in the presence of carbon dioxide, as shown in Table 3 and Figure 5.
