Beryllium Hydroxide
is an atmospheric hydroxide which dissolves in acids as well as alkalis. The
chemical formula of beryllium hydroxide is Be(OH)2. It is white in
colour consisting of opaque crystals which are slightly soluble in water.
Industrially beryllium hydroxide is formed as a by-product in the extraction of
beryllium metal from the ores beryl and bertrandite.
Beryllium is a
chemical element which is light, silver-gray, relatively soft metal that is
strong but brittle. Beryllium has the highest melting point of the light
metals. It displays excellent electrical as well as thermal conductivities and
resists attack by concentrated nitric acid, and is nonmagnetic. It has a high
permeability to X-rays due to low atomic number. Beryllium occurs in some
mineral species, the most significant ones include bertrandite, beryl,
chrysoberyl, phenacite, etc.
Beryllium is used
mainly as an alloying agent in manufacturing beryllium copper, which is widely
used for electrical contacts, springs, spot-welding electrodes, etc. It is also
utilized as a structural material in high-speed aircraft, missiles, spacecraft,
and communication satellites. Some of the other uses include windshield frame,
brake discs, support beams, etc.

Beryllium is also
used in nuclear industry and ceramics. It is used in gyroscopes, computer
parts, and instruments where lightness, stiffness, and dimensional stability
are mandatory. But beryllium and its salts are toxic and must be handled with
care. The major factor that propels the growth of the global Beryllium
Hydroxide market includes its wide range of applications such as automotive,
defence and so on. On the other hand, there are also factors that hamper the
growth of the market such as high cost supplementary to extraction techniques
and production. In addition, stringent mining regulations also restrain the
growth of the global Beryllium Hydroxide market.
The global Beryllium
Hydroxide market is classified on the basis of applications and geography. On
the basis of application, the global Beryllium Hydroxide market is classified
as aerospace, automotive, biomedical, defence, electrical and
telecommunications. In aerospace it used in altimeters, braking systems,
engines, and precision tools. In automotive it is used in air-bag sensors,
anti-lock brake systems, and steering wheel connecting springs.
