Strontium Oxide Pellets is a white to light gray, slightly soluble in alcohol, strongly alkaline material that generates strontium hydroxide when it meets water and emits heat, and it has important applications in ceramics, glass, electronics, metallurgy and other fields.
Properties
Chemical formula: SrO.
CAS No.: 1314-11-0.
Molecular weight: 103.62.
Appearance: usually white to light gray powder.
Density: 4.7 g/cm³.
Melting point: 2430°C.
Boiling point: about 3000℃.
Solubility: Slightly soluble in alcohol, turns into strontium hydroxide in contact with water and releases heat.
Strong alkalinity: strontium oxide powder has strong alkalinity, and will form strontium hydroxide after reacting with water, showing typical alkali chemical properties.
Hygroscopicity: the powder absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide very easily in the air, so it needs to be stored in dry, sealed conditions to prevent it from deteriorating.
Applications
Ceramics and glass industry: In the production of ceramics and glass, strontium oxide can be used as a flux, which can lower the melting point of the material, improve its fluidity and molding properties, thus improving the quality and stability of ceramics and glass. At the same time, it can also enhance the gloss and transparency of ceramics and glass, so that it has a better appearance.
Electronics industry: It can be used in the manufacture of fluorescent screens or triggering agents in electron beam displays, which helps to improve the image quality and performance of the displays. In addition, in the manufacturing process of certain electronic components, the addition of strontium oxide can improve the electrical properties and stability of the material, improve the reliability and service life of the components.
Metallurgical industry: as a desulfurizing agent, strontium oxide can effectively remove sulfur impurities in metals and improve the quality and performance of metals. In metallurgical processes such as iron and steel smelting, adding the appropriate amount of strontium oxide can reduce the sulfur content and reduce the harmful effects of sulfur on metal materials, such as reducing the toughness and corrosion resistance of the metal.
Chemical synthesis: It is an important reagent in many chemical synthesis reactions, and can be used to prepare other strontium compounds, such as strontium salts. In organic synthesis, it can also be used as a catalyst to promote certain chemical reactions and improve reaction efficiency and selectivity.
Pyrotechnics: Because strontium oxide can emit a bright red flame when burning, it is widely used in the manufacture of fireworks and pyrotechnics, adding bright colors to the fireworks.
Pharmaceuticals: Strontium oxide is also used in the pharmaceutical industry, for example, it can be used in the manufacture of certain drug intermediates or as a drug additive.
