strontia

It is a hydrous silicate of aluminia, baryta, and strontia.

From the confluence, the river flows towards Denver and enters Strontia Springs Reservoir.

Strontium oxide or strontia, SrO, is formed when strontium reacts with oxygen.

The alkaline earth metals are named after their oxides, the alkaline earths, whose old-fashioned names were beryllia, magnesia, lime, strontia and baryta.

Below Strontia Springs the South Platte runs through Waterton Canyon before entering Chatfield Reservoir.

He improved the strontia saccharate process, in which strontium hydroxide is mixed with the molasses and strontium di-saccharate precipitates and can be separated from the molasses.

A 1.7 miles section of Waterton Canyon was inundated by the Strontia Springs Reservoir, completed in 1983 as part of the Foothills Project for water diversion.
