Strontium Chloride Manufacturing process

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.
