The green colorant used was boric acid, and for the last clip where the flame had a mixture of red and other colors I had thrown in a handful of strontium nitrate. Fuel was isopropyl alcohol for ...

A little-known element is shedding light on the transatlantic slave trade. Researchers have assembled a map of strontium, a naturally occurring element, across sub-Saharan Africa. These data can ...

Strontium sounds uncommon, but apparently, it is used in ceramics. For the chemists among us, there’s an explanation of how to make it by decomposing soluble nitrate salts. For the rest of us ...

A project collaborator collects a sample from a termite mound in Cote d’Ivoire. Strontium ratios are like UC Santa Cruz Anthropology Professor Vicky Oelze prepares samples for a strontium isotope ...

barium nitrate, strontium nitrate, strontium oxalate, strontium peroxide, potassium chlorate, potassium perchlorate and potassium sulfate. These compounds are critical for Defense purposes and for ...

barium nitrate, aluminium, strontium nitrate, sulphur, and iron, used in fireworks, the CPCB used an indirect method to address the issue,” says Mr. Srinivasan According to the Occupational ...

Strontium compounds, particularly strontium carbonate, offer unique benefits to these industries. They enhance the optical properties of glass, improving refractive index and contributing to ...

The most basic component of fireworks is black powder, made up of potassium nitrate, charcoal and sulfur — but that’s not very exciting. To create a colorful display, additional chemicals are needed ...

calcium nitrate and strontium nitrate as metallic precursors, respectively. The solids were synthesized to obtain Co:M:Nb at 2:1:7 atomic ratio, in which M = Mg, Ca, Sr. Samples were characterized by ...
