HCID 15407Strontium carbonate

Product 1

HCID 24848Strontium nitrate

Procedure

In the most direct commercial manufacturing method, celestite ore is heated with an aqueous soda ash (sodium carbonate) solution to yield strontium carbonate as a precipitate. The separated strontium carbonate is reacted with aqueous nitric acid to form strontium nitrate, which is recovered by crystallization.
