Product Description

Arsenic is a chemical element which belongs to the group fifteen of the periodic table, commonly referred to as the nitrogen group. It is known for its toxicity and has been used historically as a poison. Arsenic occurs in many minerals, usually in combination with sulfur and metals, but it is also found in pure form. It also has numerous uses in industries including that of a pesticide, wood preservative, and as an alloy. It is employed in minor amounts as a deoxidizer to enhance the characteristics of several metals, like copper and lead. It is also used in the semiconductor industry to introduce impurities into silicon and gallium arsenide crystals to change their conductivity for applications in components including transistors and solar cells. Arsenic compounds are employed as calibration standards for use in laboratories and quality control of instruments used for the analysis of arsenic in environmental samples, foods and biological tissues.
