aa92td Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 Hello guys , Im working on now on a "black light" project and trying to synthesize SrB4O7.There is anyone here that can help me and know how to synthesize SrB4O7? Thanks a lot and sorry about my english.cheers , agwa.
Miech Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 I don't know the data for solubility, but you might try a precipitation with strontium nitrate and sodium tetraborate (borax). I have a feint memory that the strontium tetraborate needs to be doped with metals like europium, samarium or praseodymium to work properly.
aa92td Posted December 26, 2009 Author Posted December 26, 2009 (edited) I'have both, strontium nitarte and borax , but is it really necessary to dope it with those metals? cause i dont have any of them.and if will get'm how do i start the reaction between those chemicals? (make it solution or with heat?) Edited December 26, 2009 by AgwA
Miech Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 Doping is basically contaminating the substance with another substance. How this would be done is beyond me, I'm more into organic chemistry. You might have a look at the Youtube channel of Nurdrage, he recently got an item on making glow powder.
