Tellurite

Tellurite glasses with the unique physical properties and applications were reported by el- mallawany[1]. Elastic properties are very informative about the structure of solids and are directly related to the interatomic potentials. Elastic properties also provide the information about internal arrangement of the constituent oxides and the mechanical strength of the glass.

In slightly acid conditions, we have hydrogen tellurite ion, HTEO3−; with more acidic conditions we have tellurous acid, H2TEO3.

Causes severe irritation and burns. May Be harmful if swallowed. Avoid breathing vapor or dust. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothes. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep container closed.

Potassium tellurite agar is selective for the growth of Staphylococci and is somewhat selective for the growth of Corynebacteria. Staphylococci and Corynebacteria reduce the potassium tellurite in the agar, which makes the colonies grow black.

Sodium tellurite is an inorganic tellurium compound with formula Na2TeO3. It is a water soluble white solid and a weak reducing agent. Sodium tellurite is an intermediate in the extraction of the element, tellurium; it is a mineral obtained from slimes and is a precursor to tellurium.
