Preparation
Beryllium sulfide powders can be prepared by the reaction of sulfur and beryllium in a hydrogen atmosphere by heating the mixture for 10-20 minutes at temperatures from 1000-1300 °C.
Alternatively, it can be prepared by the reaction of beryllium chloride and hydrogen sulfide at 1150 °C, though this reaction will leave chlorine impurities.
gollark: I'm okay at catching and have loads of random dragons to breed.
gollark: They're a bit long, though, and I don't really understand what you're saying sometimes.
gollark: Enjoy the extra eggslot!(I still keep forgetting I have 6)
gollark: Wow, I have four trades/offers up at once.
gollark: Very exciting.
