Questions about Metals, elements & oxides
Powder, wire, foil or granules: which form of metal should I choose?
The form decides how fast and how controllably the metal reacts. Powder has a large surface and reacts quickly, so it suits reductions and synthesis, as with iron powder, p.a.. Wire, foil or sheet are for electrodes, calibration and demonstration work, such as the copper wire, p.a., drawn. Granules react in a more controlled way and are easy to dose. Oxides are a separate choice for ceramics, catalysis or analysis. If you need the metal in solution, salts are often easier; see inorganic salts. Questions? Ask sales@luminixhealth.com.
Which purity of metal or oxide do I need?
Choose by the sensitivity of your work. p.a. and high-purity grades are for analysis and trace work, where impurities would show up in the result. Extra pure, such as the cerium(IV) oxide, extra pure, suits synthesis and materials work. Technical grades are fine for general use and teaching. The exact purity is stated on each product page and on the certificate of analysis. For calibrating ICP or AAS, a certified standard solution is more practical than dissolving a metal yourself; see ICP, AAS and ion standards. Unsure? Ask sales@luminixhealth.com.
Why Metals, elements & oxides?
Metals, elements and oxides are the element itself or its oxide, sold as powder, shot, foil or wire. Purity and particle size are both the specification. A 99 percent powder and a 99.999 percent shot of the same element are different articles. Many are reactive to air or to water.
An inorganic chemical is a salt, an acid or base in solid form, a metal, an oxide, or an element. The waters of hydration are part of the formula: a hydrate and an anhydrous salt are different masses for the same ion. Trace metals matter when the salt will be used in analysis. Nanomaterials add particle size to the specification. Look the substance up on PubChem. Hazard classes are on ECHA, under the CLP Regulation and REACH. Transport of the dangerous ones is explained by the UNECE.
