Scandium Carbonate (Sc2(CO3)3.xH2O) Powder

Product Information

Scandium(III) Carbonate Hydrate is a compound composed of scandium, carbon, and oxygen, with three hydrate molecules attached. It has a melting point of 830 °C. It is a water insoluble Scandium source that can easily be converted to other Scandium compounds, such as the oxide by heating (calcination). Carbonate compounds also give off carbon dioxide when treated with dilute acids. Scandium Carbonate Hydrate is generally immediately available in most volumes. High purity, submicron and nanopowder forms may be considered. 

Scandium Carbonate (Sc2(CO3)3.xH2O) Powder is a white, soluble-water solid. ATT stocks a wide variety of rare earth materials for use in electronics, petrochemical, metallurgy, machinery, energy, environmental protection, agriculture, and other fields. We also offer pure metals and compounds for applications.
