Everything you ever wanted to know about the production and purification of alkali metals

Video Description

I visited the Philipps University of Marburg to meet with Prof. Dr. Florian Kraus. A specialist in fluorine chemistry, uranium chemistry, alkali metals and much more. In this video, he explained a lot about the preparation of alkali metals (cesium and rubidium in particular) and their purification. It is, in my opinion, one of the most interesting and most information-dense videos I have made.

It’s worth watching! https://youtu.be/jOII5gJlHlE If you want, you can join my patreon to help me working on my projects. I would really appreciate it! https://www.patreon.com/AdvancedTinkering
