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

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.

For my German viewers, there is a great video by “Die Laborratten” about his lab and his work on YouTube. It’s worth watching!
