1 results about "Rubidium oxide" patented technology

Rubidium oxide is the chemical compound with the formula Rb₂O. Rubidium oxide is highly reactive towards water, and therefore it would not be expected to occur naturally. The rubidium content in minerals is often calculated and quoted in terms of Rb₂O. In reality, the rubidium is typically present as a component of (actually, an impurity in) silicate or aluminosilicate. A major source of rubidium is lepidolite, KLi₂Al(Al,Si)₃O₁₀(F,OH)₂, wherein Rb sometimes replaces K.
