Manufacturing process of Strontium Chloride
Step 1: Raw Material Selection
- High-purity strontium carbonate or strontium hydroxide is selected.
- Raw materials undergo strict quality checks for purity.
Step 2: Chemical Reaction & Processing
- Strontium carbonate reacts with hydrochloric acid to form Strontium Chloride solution.
- The solution is filtered and purified to remove impurities.
Step 3: Crystallization & Drying
- The solution undergoes controlled evaporation to crystallize Hexahydrate (SrCl₂·6H₂O).
- For anhydrous grade, further dehydration is performed to remove water molecules.
Step 4: Quality Control & Testing
- The product is tested for assay, solubility, moisture content, and pH as per industry standards.
Step 5: Packaging & Storage
- Packed in HDPE bags or fiber drums to prevent contamination.
- Stored in a cool, dry place to maintain stability.
