CAS 7439-97-6 99.93%purity Mercury

Mercury, the chemical symbol Hg, also known as mercury, is a very special
metal. It has an extremely low melting point of -38.87 °C, and is the only
metal that is liquid at room temperature and flows easily, with a silver bead-
like appearance and a specific gravity of 13.595. Due to its unique properties,
the vapor specific gravity of mercury is also relatively high at 6.9. The name
mercury comes from the Latin word meaning "liquid silver".
In the chemical industry, mercury is used as a feedstock in the production of
mercury compounds or as a catalyst in reactions such as the electrolysis of
salt to chlorine and caustic soda. Mercury is also used to extract precious
metals such as gold and silver, as well as in gold plating and distillation
processes. In dentistry, amalgam is often used to fill caries. In the nuclear
industry, mercury is even used as a coolant in plutonium reactors, reflecting
its special use in high-tech fields.
Mercury has a long history of use and is versatile. In the Middle
AgesalchemyNeutral withbrimstone, salt is called alchemyThe Sacred Three
Elements。
Application field
The most common applications for mercury are in the manufacture of industrial
chemicals and in electronic or electrical products. Mercury is also used in
thermometers, especially in thermometers that measure high temperatures. More
and more gaseous mercury is still used in the manufacture of fluorescent lamps,
while many other applications have been phased out due to health and safety
concerns and replaced by the less toxic but much more expensive Galinstan
alloy. In addition to this, mercury is used for:
1. It can decompose gold from its minerals, so it is often used in gold mines.
2. It is used to make barometers and diffusion pumps and other instruments.
3. Gaseous mercury is used in mercury vapor lamps.
4. It is used to manufacture liquid mirror telescopes. A telescope that rotates
the liquid into a parabolic shape and uses it as a primary mirror for
astronomical observations is one-third of the price of an ordi
