What is Rubidium Carbonate used for?
Rubidium carbonate has various applications in industrial materials, medical, environmental, and industrial research.
Rubidium carbonate is used as a raw materials for preparation of rubidium metal and various rubidium salts. It is used in some kinds of glass-making by enhancing stability and durability as well as reducing its conductivity. It is used to make high energy density micro cells and crystal scintillation counters. It is also used as a part of a catalyst for preparing short-chain alcohols from feed gas.
In medical research, rubidium carbonate has been used as a tracer in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and as a potential therapeutic agent in cancer and neurological disorders. In environmental research, rubidium carbonate has been investigated for its effects on ecosystems and its potential role in pollution management.
