Production Methods
Strontium carbonate is commercially produced from strontium sulfate contained in celestite ores. Commercial production methods include the "black ash" process, where celestite is reduced by carbon to yield strontium sulfide, which is then converted to strontium carbonate. Alternatively, strontium carbonate can be produced from celestite via the metathesis reaction with sodium bicarbonate.
