Industrial Uses

1. Performance Chemicals

  • Strontium Carbonate (SrCO3): SrSO4 is a key raw material for producing strontium carbonate, which is used in television faceplates, ceramics, and other applications.
  • Strontium Nitrate (Sr(NO3)2): It's also used to make strontium nitrate, a component in pyrotechnics for creating red colors in flares and fireworks.
  • Ceramics and Glass: Strontium sulfate is incorporated into glazes and enamels for ceramics and can also act as a fining agent in the production of crystal glass, adding iridescence.
  • EPR Dosimeters: Strontium sulfate is used in electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) dosimeters, which are employed to measure radiation doses in various applications, including radiation therapy and blood irradiation.

2. Energy

  • Drilling Fluids: It is used as a weighting agent in drilling fluids for oil and gas wells, increasing the density of the fluid.
