Strontium carbonate is a kind of carbonate salt derived from strontium, which has a powdery appearance that can be either white or grey. This substance exists in nature as a mineral called strontianite. Although it is not very soluble in water, it can become more soluble if the water is saturated with carbon dioxide. Despite being a weak base, it can react with acids. Strontium carbonate is utilized in a variety of applications, including the production of strontium nitrate, ceramics, glass, fireworks, and isotopic analysis.
