Caluanie Muelear Oxidize

Gandi Chemical Solutions supplies Caluanie Muelear Oxidize (CAS 7439-97-6) to mines, concentrators and mineral processing plants. It is supplied as assay Not published for this trade name — request certificate of analysis. Packaging: Quoted per requirement; mercury consignments ship in sealed, unbreakable, bunded containers. Priced by quotation, with a current safety data sheet on every consignment.

Caluanie Muelear Oxidize is a trade name rather than a registered chemical identity: it carries no IUPAC name and no entry of its own in any chemical registry. The supplier data sheet assigns it CAS 7439-97-6, which is elemental mercury, and states a density of 1.86 kg/L — a figure that does not agree with mercury’s 13.53 kg/L. That contradiction is unresolved in the published data, so GCS quotes this line only against a certificate of analysis that establishes what is actually in the drum. On the identity the supplier gives, it ships as a mercury product: sealed unbreakable packaging, vapour-controlled and bunded storage, and the import and export authorisations mercury attracts under the Minamata Convention. If the underlying requirement is simply a strong oxidising agent for metal processing, ask us instead about hydrogen peroxide, sodium hypochlorite or ferric chloride — all three cover most of those duties against a documented specification and without an export licence.

Where caluanie muelear oxidize is used

Every other line in this range is specified by duty and grade. This one has to be specified by identity first, because the published data does not settle what it is — so the useful conversation starts with the certificate of analysis, not the tonnage.

• Controlled metal oxidation in metal processing — the duty the supplier literature describes
• Chemical manufacturing intermediate, per the same supplier literature
• Recovery and re-use of surplus stock rather than disposal, where the material is already held on site

Key features

• Not published for this trade name — request certificate of analysis assay. Dense liquid.
• CAS 7439-97-6, Hg (elemental mercury, per supplier data).
• Also ordered as Mercury, Quicksilver, Hydrargyrum.
• Supplied in quoted per requirement; mercury consignments ship in sealed, unbreakable, bunded containers, with larger units quoted on request.

Specification and grade

Supplied under the trade name Caluanie Muelear Oxidize, which is not a registered chemical identity: no IUPAC name, no formula of its own, no registry entry. The supplier data sheet assigns CAS 7439-97-6 — elemental mercury — and states a density of 1.86 kg/L. Those two facts do not agree: mercury is 13.53 kg/L, roughly seven times denser than the quoted figure. No assayed purity is published against the trade name. GCS therefore quotes this line against a certificate of analysis only, and prices it once the CoA establishes the substance. Buyers specifying a strong oxidising agent for metal processing should ask about hydrogen peroxide, sodium hypochlorite or ferric chloride instead — each carries a published assay and none needs an export licence.

Handling and storage

Handled as mercury until a certificate of analysis says otherwise, because that is the identity the supplier data gives and it is the assumption that fails safe. Mercury is a cumulative neurotoxin and its vapour is the exposure route that matters at room temperature — it evaporates from an open surface with no smell and no warning. Store in sealed, unbreakable containers in a ventilated, bunded area, well away from heat; a warm unventilated store is the classic way to build a dangerous vapour concentration. Decant over a spill tray with a mercury-specific spill kit within reach. A domestic vacuum cleaner does not clean up a mercury spill, it aerosolises it and contaminates the machine. Respiratory protection rated for mercury vapour, double nitrile gloves, no food or drink in the area. Washings and contaminated consumables are hazardous waste and never go to drain.

Packaging and supply

Pack sizes and lead time are quoted against the requirement, on the same price-on-request basis as the rest of the catalogue. Two things have to be settled before a quotation can be issued: a certificate of analysis establishing the substance, and the destination authorisation, since mercury movement is controlled under the Minamata Convention and export is prohibited outright from the EU and the United States. Tell us the duty you are trying to cover and we will quote this line or a documented alternative, whichever actually fits.
