Cesium

The Lone Wolf Metals & Trading Company Limited specializes in supplying high-value Cesium.  Cesium (Cs) is a waxy, silvery-gold metallic element that is the softest of all metals. Cesium is one of three metals (gallium and mercury) that are liquid at or near room temperature.  Cesium is a very reactive metal, that when mixed with cold water, produces an explosive reaction. Its melting point is so low that it will melt if it is held in the hand. However, because it is so reactive, it can seriously burn the skin, so it must be handled with great care.
Only a few thousand kilograms of cesium are used each year. A number of minerals contain significant amounts of cesium, including mica, beryl, feldspar, petalite, and pollucite, from which the mineral usually mined.

Cesium and cesium compounds have a number of interesting uses and applications. For example, they are used as catalysts in chemical reactions. Because it is easily ionized by light, metallic cesium is used in photoelectric cells and infrared detectors. (An element that is ionized is transformed from a neutrally charged element into an electrically charged ion.) Cesium compounds are used in specialized alkaline batteries that are designed to work in subzero climates. Cesium carbonate is used in the production of special glass and glass products.

Applications for Cesium

  • Cesium is used in industry as a catalyst promoter;
  • boosting the performance of other metal oxides in the capacity and for the hydrogenation of organic compounds; 
  • Cesium nitrate is used to make optical glasses;
  • Cesium is sometimes used to remove traces of oxygen from the vacuum tubes and from light bulbs;
  • Cesium salts are used to strengthen various types of glass;  
  • The chloride is used in photoelectric cells, in optical instruments, and in increasing the sensitivity of electron tubes; and
  • Cesium is used in atomic clocks and more recently in ion propulsion systems.
