Isolated
by Davey by electrolysis in 1808; however, Adair Crawford in
1790 recognized a new mineral (strontianite) as differing from
other barium minerals (baryta). Strontium is found chiefly as
celestite (SrSO4) and strontianite (SrCO3). Celestite is found
in Mexico, Turkey, Iran, Spain, Algeria, and in the U.K. The
U.S. has no active celestite mines. The metal can be prepared
by electrolysis of the fused chloride mixed with potassium
chloride, or is made by reducing strontium oxide with aluminum
in a vacuum at a temperature at which strontium distills
off. Three allotropic forms of the metal exist, with transition
points at 235 and 540°C. Strontium is softer than calcium and
decomposes water more vigorously. It does not absorb nitrogen
below 380°C. It should be kept under mineral oil to prevent
oxidation. Freshly cut strontium has a silvery appearance, but
rapidly turns a yellowish color with the formation of the oxide.
The finely divided metal ignites spontaneously in air. Volatile
strontium salts impart a beautiful crimson color to flames, and
these salts are used in pyrotechnics and in the production of
flares. Natural strontium is a mixture of four stable isotopes.
Thirty-two other unstable isotopes and isomers are known to
exist. Of greatest importance is 90Sr with a half-life of 29 years.
It is a product of nuclear fallout and presents a health problem.
This isotope is one of the best long-lived high-energy beta
emitters known, and is used in SNAP (Systems for Nuclear
Auxiliary Power) devices. These devices hold promise for use
in space vehicles, remote weather stations, navigational buoys,
etc., where a lightweight, long-lived, nuclear-electric power
source is needed. The major use for strontium at present is in
producing glass for color television picture tubes. All color TV
and cathode ray tubes sold in the U.S. are required by law to
contain strontium in the face plate glass to block X-ray emission.
Strontium also improves the brilliance of the glass and the
quality of the picture. It has also found use in producing ferrite
magnets and in refining zinc. Strontium titanate is an interesting
optical material as it has an extremely high refractive index
and an optical dispersion greater than that of diamond. It has
been used as a gemstone, but it is very soft. It does not occur
naturally. Strontium metal (99% pure) costs about $220/kg. | [Uses]
This soft, yellowish, metallic element was isolated by Sir
Humphry Davy in 1808. It was found in the minerals strontianite
and celestine. The strontium halides were used in the
making of collodion emulsions. | [CAS DataBase Reference]

| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Chemical Properties]
Pale-yellow, soft metal; chemically similar
to calcium. Soluble
in alcohol and acids, decomposes water on contact. | [Description]
Strontium has the symbol Sr, the atomic number 38 and an atomic weight of 87.623 g/mol. As an alkaline earth metal, strontium is a soft silver-white or yellowish metallic element that is highly reactive chemically. Due to its extreme reactivity with oxygen and water, this element occurs naturally only in compounds with other elements. The metal turns yellow when exposed to air. It occurs naturally in the minerals Celestine(SrSO4) and strontianite(SrCO3). The isotope, 90Sr, is present in radioactive fallout and has a half-life of 28.90 years. The following table presents the abundance of strontium. Strontium commonly occurs in nature, the 15th most abundant element on earth, averaging 0.034% in all igneous rock. It is found chiefly as the form of the sulfate mineral Celestite(SrSO4) and the carbonate Strontianite (SrCO3). Of the two, Celestite occurs much more frequently in sedimentary deposits of sufficient size to make the development of mining facilities attractive. Strontianite is more useful of the two common minerals because strontium is used most often in the carbonate form, but few deposits have been discovered that are suitable for development. | [Physical properties]
In its elemental state, strontium is a relatively soft, pale yellow metal somewhat similar toelemental calcium. When freshly cut, strontium has a silvery shine to its surface that soonturns grayish as it is oxidized by atmospheric oxygen (2Sr + O2 → 2SrO) and nitrogen (3Sr +N2 → Sr3N2), which prevents further oxidation. Strontium’s melting point is 769°C, its boiling point is 1348°C, and its density is 2.54 g/cm3. | [Isotopes]
Strontium has four naturally occurring isotopes 84Sr
(0.56%), 86Sr (9.86%), 87Sr (7.0%) and 88Sr (82.58%), but
there are 33 known isotopes (Tables 1.14 and 1.15).
This element (Sr) has four stable, naturally occurring
isotopes: 84Sr (0.56%), 86Sr (9.86%), 87Sr (7.0%) and 88Sr
(82.58%). Only 87Sr is radiogenic since it is produced
by decay from the radioactive alkali metal 87Rb, which
has a half-life of 4.88×1010 years. Thus, in any material,
there are two sources of 87Sr. That formed during
primordial nucleosynthesis along with 84Sr, 86Sr and
88Sr, and that formed by radioactive decay of 87Rb. The
ratio 87Sr/86Sr is the parameter typically reported in
geologic investigations. The ratios reported in minerals
and rocks have values ranging from 0.7 to greater than
4.0. Because strontium has an electronic configuration
similar to that of calcium, it readily substitutes for Ca
in minerals.
Sixteen unstable isotopes are known to exist. Of greatest
importance are strontium-89 (89Sr) with a half-life of
50.57 days, and strontium-90 (90Sr) with a half-life of
28.78 years. They decay by emitting an electron and an
anti-neutrino (ne) in beta-minus decay (b
decay) to
become yttrium, 90Y (half-life ? 64 h). 89Sr is an artificial
radioisotope that is used in the treatment of bone cancer.
In circumstances where cancer patients have widespread
and painful bony metastases, the administration
of 89Sr results in the delivery of b-particles directly to the
area of the bony problem, where calcium turnover is
greatest. 90Sr is a by-product of nuclear fission found
in “nuclear fallout” and presents a health problem since
it substitutes for calcium in bone, preventing its expulsion
from the body. Significant absorption usually
results in death.
Because it is a long-lived high-energy beta-emitter,
90Sr is used in SNAP (Systems for Nuclear Auxiliary
Power) devices. These devices hold promise for use in
spacecraft, remote weather stations, navigational buoys,
etc., where a lightweight, long-lived, nuclear-electric
power source is required. | [Isotopes]
There are 29 isotopes of strontium, ranging from Sr-75 to Sr-102. The fournatural forms of strontium are stable and not radioactive. These stable isotopes are Sr-84, which constitutes 0.56% of the element’s existence on Earth; Sr-86, which makesup 9.86%; Sr-87, which accounts for 7.00% of the total; and Sr-88, which makes up82.58% of strontium found on Earth. The remaining isotopes are radioactive with halflives ranging from a few microseconds to minutes, hours, days, or years. Most, but notall, are produced in nuclear reactors or nuclear explosions. Two important radioisotopesare Sr-89 and Sr-90. | [Origin of Name]
Strontium was named after the town Strontian, located in Scotland in
the British Isles. | [Occurrence]
Strontium metal is not found in its elemental state in nature. Its salts and oxide compoundsconstitute only 0.025% of the Earth’s crust. Strontium is found in Mexico and Spain in the mineral ores of strontianite (SrCO3) and celestite (SrSO4). As these ores are treated with hydrochloricacid (HCl), they produce strontium chloride (SrCl2) that is then used, along with potassiumchloride (KCl), to form a eutectic mixture to reduce the melting point of the SrCl2, as a moltenelectrolyte in a graphite dish-shaped electrolysis apparatus. This process produces Sr cations collected at the cathode, where they acquire electrons to form strontium metal. At the same time,Cl- anions give up electrons at the anode and are released as chlorine gas Cl2↑.Two other methods of producing strontium are by thermal reduction of strontium oxideand by the distillation of strontium in a vacuum. | [Characteristics]
When strontium metal is exposed to water, it releases hydrogen, as do the other earth metals (Sr + 2H2O → Sr(OH)2 + H2↑). Strontium can ignite when heated above its melting point.When in a fine powder form, it will burn spontaneously in air. It must be stored in an inertatmosphere or in naphtha. Several of its salts burn with a bright red flame, making it usefulin signal flares and fireworks. | [Flammability and Explosibility]
Substances and mixtureswhichincontactwithwateremitflammablegases | [Carcinogenicity]
The carcinogenicity of stable
(nonradioactive) strontium chromate was attributed solely
to intracellular soluble chromium. 90Sr has been examined
in long-term studies in four species, involving beagles,
mice, monkeys, and pigs. A summary of the findings of these
studies can be found in Ref.. Following intravenous
injection of 90Sr at doses ranging from 0.027 to
362×104 Bq/kg, the most prominent 90Sr -induced endpoint
was bone sarcoma. Neoplasms involving the soft tissues near
bone in the oronasopharynx and paranasal sinuses and bone
marrow dysplasia were also significantly elevated over controls.
Feeding studies in beagles extending from the in utero
period to age 540 days resulted in the development of the
same array of tumors, and, in addition, myeloproliferative
disorders. Inhalation exposure to 90Sr Cl2 was associated with multiple carcinogenic and non-neoplastic lesions in
dogs, with an excess of bone tumors reported as the major
finding. Interestingly, inhalation exposure of dogs to insoluble
forms of 90Sr was associated with lung tumors, but not bone
tumors. In an additional study in which beagle dogs were
injected with lowlevels of 90Sr (21.1 kBq/kg, or five times the
maximum permissible (retained) body burden), 90Sr was not
associated with a decrease in survival time in dogs. It has
been estimated that 90Sr is approximately two orders of
magnitude less toxic than radium. Two monkey studies
were also summarized by the Council on Radiation Protection
and Measurements. One of these studies involved
administration of single intravenous injections of 90Sr
(0.10–6.21 MBq) to rhesus monkeys. These monkeys had
no symptoms or disease attributable to 90Sr 20 years after
exposure. In another study, administration of 1.85 or 3.7 MBq
of 90Sr as a single oral dose resulted in bone sarcomas. | [Environmental Fate]
Most stable strontium and some radioactive strontium
compounds exist as dust in air, which eventually settles over
land and water. Stable strontium dissolves in water and moves
deeper in soil to underground water. The solid is found suspended
in water. Strontium is also found naturally in soil due
to the release of coal ash and industrial wastes. Soluble strontium
compounds, through chemical reactions, can transform to
insoluble and vice versa. The long half-life of strontium-90 (29
years) can allow airborne particles to move all around the
world. | [Toxicity evaluation]
Strontium’s inherent toxicity and that of its compounds
resembles that of calcium. The state of calcium nutrition of
exposed individuals is a major determinant of toxicity. The
radioactive isotope, when ingested or inhaled, is processed by
the body and resides in bones. Strontium ionizes molecules in
the body by the emission of beta particles. It increases the risk
of cancer. |

| Questions And Answer | Back Directory | [History]
William Cruickshank in 1787 and Adair Crawford in 1790 independently detected strontium in the mineral strontianite, small quantities of which are associated with calcium and barium minerals. They determined that the strontianite was an entirely new mineral and was different from baryta and other barium minerals known at the time. In 1808, Sir Humphry Davy isolated strontium by electrolysis of a mixture of moist strontium hydroxide or chloride with mercuric oxide, using a mercury cathode. The element was named after the town Strontian in Scotland where the mineral strontianite was found.
| [Uses]
Strontium is found in small quantities in many rocks and soils, mostly associated with calcium and barium. Its abundance in the earth’s crust is about 370 mg/kg, about the same as barium. The average concentration of this metal in sea water is about 7.9 mg/L.
The two principal strontium minerals are its carbonate, strontianite, SrCO3, and the more abundant sulfate mineral celestite, SrSO4.
Elemental strontium has only minor uses, since most applications involve calcium and barium. Strontium alloys are used as “getters” for vacuum tubes. It is incorporated in glass for making picture tubes for color television. Strontium compounds are used in tracer bullets and in fireworks to produce red signal flares. Strontium titanate is a gemstone. The radioactive strontium- 90 with a half-life of 29 years is a high-energy beta emitter. It is a product of nuclear fission. This isotope is a lightweight nuclear-electric power source in space vehicles and remote weather stations.
| [Production]
Strontium and its compounds are mostly derived from celestite, SrSO4. The mineral is converted to its carbonate by heating with sodium carbonate. Alternatively, the mineral may be reduced to sulfide by heating with coke. The carbonate or the sulfide is then converted to other strontium salts.
Metallic strontium is produced by electrolysis of a mixed melt of strontium chloride and potassium chloride in a graphite crucible using an iron rod as cathode. The upper cathodic space is cooled and the strontium metal collects over the cooled cathode and forms a stick.
Strontium metal also can be prepared by thermal reduction of its oxide with aluminum. Strontium oxide-aluminum mixture is heated at high temperature in vacuum. Strontium is collected by distillation in vacuum. Strontium also is obtained by reduction of its amalgam, hydride, and other salts. The amalgam is heated and the mercury is separated by distillation. If hydride is used, it is heated at 1,000°C in vacuum for decomposition and removal of hydrogen. Such thermal reductions yield high–purity metal.
| [Hazard]
The finely-powdered metal is pyrophoric. Its radioactive isotopes Sr-89 and Sr-90 emit high-energy beta radiation. They are extremely hazardous because they deposit in bones replacing calcium. Their radiation can damage bone marrow and blood-forming organs, inducing cancer.
