Quick question

Hey guys, can anyone please tell me if Strontium dissolve in HCL 32%?
I have a sheet with aluminum(90%) and Strontium (10%). If I dip in HCl will that sheet become pure Strontium?

Thanks

No, it will dissolve. It will react with the water and form SrOH and that + HCl will form SrCl... unless it does it in just one step.

I assume Sr precipitation is feasible using CO2 in alkaline medium

Yes. The strontium will precipitate as its carbonate.

The product with HCl is SrCl2

So what is the best way and easy way to make it pure and if possible in metal form again?

Thanks
