Strontium - LoveToKnow 1911 (999 words)
Strontium chloride, SrC1 2.6H 2 O, is obtained by dissolving the carbonate in hydrochloric acid, or by fusing the carbonate with calcium chloride and extracting the melt with water.
Strontium nitride, Sr 3 N 2, is formed when strontium amalgam is heated to redness in a stream of nitrogen or by igniting the oxide with magnesium (H. Ellis, Chem.
Strontium salts may be recognized by the characteristic crimson colour they impart to the flame of the Bunsen burner and by the precipitation of the insoluble sulphate.
Denture stabilizing zinc and strontium salts of ave/ma copolymer - Patent 4758630 (3238 words)
Since zinc hydroxide is not commercially available, its use as a reactant is readily and more economically accomplished by employing an aqueous slurry of particulate zinc oxide which, although practically insoluble in water, provides hydration to zinc hydroxide on the particulate surface.
Strontium hydroxide, on the other hand, is available in either crystalline or powder form and is soluble in about 50 parts water.
Additional strontium partial salts of MVE/MA copolymer with varying percentages between 10 and 60 percent of strontium cation neutralization of the initial --COOH groups in the copolymer molecule are readily obtained by utilizing the appropriate amount of strontium hydroxide in accordance with the general procedure of this example.
