Mining and refining pollucite ore is a selective process and is conducted on a smaller scale than for most other metals The ore is crushed hand sorted but not usually concentrated and then ground Caesium is then extracted from pollucite primarily by three methods acid digestion alkaline decomposition and
The situation would be very different if NaCl was replaced with CsCl CsAl SO4 2 12H2O would precipitate because it is nearly insoluble in cold water this trick is used for isolation of Cs from pollucite the aluminosilicate ore is cooked with diluted sulfuric acid upon slow cooling giant rhombs of Cs alum crystallize out of the supernatants
Cesium Aluminate AMERICAN ELEMENTS
Cesium s main commercial source is pollucite ore however it is also found in beryl avogadrite pezzottaite and londonite Cesium was discovered by Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff in 1860 and first isolated by Carl Setterberg in 1882 In its elemental form cesium has a silvery gold appearance
