beryllium perchlorate Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Description

Beryllium perchlorate has the molecular formula of Be(ClO4)2 and a molecular weight of 207.012 g/mol. Its CAS number is 13597-95-0. It can be prepared by reaction of beryllium oxide in a water solution of an alkali perchloric salt or perchloric acid itself. The reaction is very slow and there is some doubt as to whether the oxide actually dissolves but is converted directly to the perchlorate directly.

Uses

Beryllium perchlorate is a solvent for cellulose.

Safety Profile

Confirmed carcinogen. Apowerful oxidant used in propellant and igniter systems.When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl??and BeO.
