Rubidium chloride (RbCl) is a key inorganic compound renowned for its versatility in scientific research, electronics, and advanced material synthesis. As a leading supplier, we offer rubidium chloride in three precision-grade specifictions-99%, 99.5%, and 99.9% purity- to meet diverse applications needs, from laboratory experiments to industrial-scale production.
Exceptional Quality and Purity
Our rubidium chloride is characterized by its white crystalline structure, ensuring high solubility in water and compatibility with various solvents. Each grade undergoes rigorous quality control, including:
- Advanced purification processes to minimize impurities (e.g., alkali metals, heavy metals, and anionic contaminants).
- Certifications for trace element content, validated by ISO-accredited laboroties.
- Strict packaging in airtight containers to prevent moisture absorption, preserving stability and reactivity.
The 99.9% ultra-high-purity grade is ideal for applications requiring minimal interference, such as optical crystal growth and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies, while the 99% and 99.5% grades excel in industrial processes and educational research.
Applications Across Industries
Rubidium chloride serves as a critical raw material in:
- Research & Development : A staple in studies on ion transport, neuroscience ( as a potassium ion analog), and quantum computing copmonents.
- Electronics : Used in the production of photocells, vacuum tubes, and specialized glass for fiber optics.
- Chemical Synthesis : A precursor for other rubidium compounds, including rubidium nitrate (RbNO3), rubidium carbonate (Rb2CO3), and rubidium hydroxide (RbOH). Its high reactivity makes it a preferred starting material for synthesizing rubidium-based catalysts and reagents.
Synergy with other rubidium compounds
As a foundational rubidium salt, rubidium chloride bridges raw material extraction and advanced compound production. For example:
- Reacting RbCl with silver nitrate yields rubidium nitrate, essential in pyrotechnics and laser technology.
- Conversion to rubidium carbonate enables applications in ceramics and glass manufacturing.
- Its compatibility with other alkali metal chloride (e.g., KCl, CsCl) makes it valuable in phase equilibrium studies and molten salt research.
