Cleaning mineral/parffin oil from Barium metal
Cleaning mineral/parffin oil from Barium metal
(OP)
Hello everyone! I'm not sure if this is a materials engineering question, or a chemical engineering question, but I just want to be sure, and get a second opinion on it.
Recently, we have acquired Barium metal under mineral oil, and we need to clean the mineral oil off the barium in order to have clean barium metal for deposition. The cleaning will be done under argon, but the cleaning agent chosen difficult to find. We have chosen hexane, due to it's lack of oxygen to react with the barium metal. However, we do not know if the hexane will be a strong enough cleaning agent to clean the barium metal for deposition. What other cleaning agents are out there to clean barium metal?
All help is appreciated, and thank you in advanced.

So what is the residual O2 content in this argon ?
