production method | cesium carbonate is mainly neutralized with hydrobromic acid; Cesium iodide is treated with hydrobromic acid in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, recrystallized in water, etc. More commonly, 16.17G of cesium sulfate and 14.36G of barium bromide (slight excess) are mixed, water is added and heated. After filtration, the filtrate was evaporated to dryness and the red-hot residue was treated with water and recrystallized. The obtained small grains were stored in a sulfuric acid vacuum dryer. There is also a way to prepare a pure product, the aluminum aluminum containing cesium dissolved in water, with ammonia into cesium sulfate, hot filter to remove aluminum. The sulfate was placed with a slight excess of barium hydroxide, excess barium was precipitated by carbon dioxide, and the barium sulfate and barium carbonate were completely precipitated by standing overnight. After filtration, the filtrate containing Cesium hydroxide was taken up into a platinum dish and neutralized with hydrobromic acid. Pure cesium bromide was obtained by recrystallization. This pure white cesium bromide was heated at 150 °c for 8H, dissolved in water, precipitated with pure concentrated hydrobromic acid and filtered. It is melted in a nitrogen atmosphere or a hydrogen bromide atmosphere, cooled in pure nitrogen, and stored in a desiccator of potassium hydroxide. |
