WHAT DOES STRONTIANITE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Strontianite

Strontianite is an important raw material for the extraction of strontium. It is a rare carbonate mineral and one of only a few strontium minerals. It is a member of the aragonite group. Aragonite group members: ▪ aragonite CaCO3 ▪ witherite BaCO3 ▪ strontianite SrCO3 ▪ cerussite PbCO3 The ideal formula of strontianite is SrCO3, with molar mass 147.63 g, but calcium Ca can substitute for up to 27% of the strontium Sr cations, and barium Ba up to 3.3%. The mineral was named in 1791 for the locality, Strontian, Argyllshire, Scotland, where the element strontium had been discovered the previous year. Although good mineral specimens of strontianite are rare, strontium is a fairly common element, with abundance in the Earth's crust of 370 parts per million by weight, 87 parts per million by moles, much more common than copper with only 60 parts per million by weight, 19 by moles. Strontium is never found free in nature. The principal strontium ores are celestine SrSO4 and strontianite SrCO3. The main commercial process for strontium metal production is reduction of strontium oxide with aluminium.

Definition of strontianite in the English dictionary

The definition of strontianite in the dictionary is a white, lightly coloured, or colourless mineral consisting of strontium carbonate in orthorhombic crystalline form: it is a source of strontium compounds. Formula: SrCO3.
