Strontium Carbonate (Carbonic acid, strontium salt (1:1)) [SrCO3] White or
pale tan powder, 325 mesh.
Produces a good red, sometimes used to slow some mixtures
burning. Used often for producing red colours, and as a fire retardant in
gunpowder mixtures. An inexpensive colorant in fireworks, Strontium and its
salts emit a brilliant red color in flame. Unlike other strontium salts, the
carbonate salt is generally prefered because of its cost and the fact that it is
not hygroscopic. Its ability to neutralize acid is also very helpful in
pyrotechnics. Another similar application is in road flares. Strontium carbonate
is a white, odorless, tasteless powder. It's chemical makeup is: C 8.14% O
32.51% Sr 59.35%. Being a carbonate, it is a weak base and therefore is reactive
with acids. It is otherwise stable and safe to work with. It is practically
insoluble in water (1 part in 100,000). The solubility is increased
significantly if the water is saturated with CO2, to 1 part in 1,000. It is
soluble in dilute acids.
Irritating to the skin and eyes on contact. Inhalation will cause irritation
to the lungs and mucus membrane. Irritation to the eyes will cause watering and
redness. Reddening, scaling, and itching are characteristics of skin
inflammation. Follow safe industrial hygiene practices and always wear
protective equipment when handling this compound.
