Facts about Erbium Rare Earth Element


*Carl Gustaf Mosander who was a Swedish Chemist discovered Erbium Rare Earth Element in 1843. Erbium’s chemical formula is Er.
* Erbium Rare Earth Element is the 12th element in the lanthanide series. Erbium Element is a rare earth element which is colored silvery-white.
* Erbium Rare Earth Element soft, bright and malleable metal is considered to be slightly toxic however, recent studies demonstrates that this metal is beneficial for metabolism.
* Erbium Rare Earth Element’s reaction with air and water happens slowly and Erbium dissolves when it gets into reaction with acids.
* Erbium Metal can be used in different kind of business areas. For example Erbium can be used in nuclear reactor control bars or Erbium can be used in glass production as a colorant.

* Erbium Rare Earth Element which is mostly used in Chemical Industry melts at 1,522.00 ◦C and boils at 2,510.00◦C.

* Erbium Rare Earth Element is hard to find erbium in nature as a free metal but Erbium can be found in some minerals like monazite, xenotime, euxenite etc.

Boron Carbide Nanoparticles and Their Applications

Boron carbide  which has the chemical formula of B 4 C is one of the hardest materials among the ceramics materials after diamond and boron nitride. In addition to its hardness, it has high thermal stability, low density, chemical inertness and neutron capture property. At temperature above 1200  o C, its hardness exceeds that of the diamond. Thus, it is a crucial material for high technology applications such as abrasive for polishing and grinding media, ceramic amour applications for personal purpose and equipment, blasting nozzles, ceramic bearings, semiconductor applications for dielectric barriers, medical and nuclear applications. B4C (Boron Carbide) Nanoparticles (99.5+%, 40-60nm, Hexagonal)  show an outstanding hardness among the ceramic materials. Therefore, boron carbide nanoparticles are a suitable material for many high performance applications. Boron carbide nanoparticles can be used as polishing, lapping and grinding material for hard mater...

Cadmium Sulfide Nanopowder and Its Applications

Cadmium sulfide is the inorganic compound with the formula CdS. Cadmium sulfide is a yellow solid. It occurs in nature with two different crystal structures as the rare minerals greenockite and hawleyite. As a compound that is easy to isolate and purify, cadmium sulfide the principal source of cadmium for all commercial applications. Its vivid yellow color led to its adoption as a pigment for the yellow paint "cadmium yellow" in the 18th century. Cadmium Sulfide Nano Powder, CdS (99.9+%, 20 nm)  shows unique physical, chemical and structural properties from the bulk. The melting point, electronic absorption spectra, band gap energy crystal structure, and other properties of cadmium sulfide nanoparticles are affected by size. Thus, cadmium sulfide on the whole is an attractive system for practicing synthetic chemistry for nanocrystals and for understanding the chemistry, growth history of nanomaterials and also for various technical applications. Colloidal dispersions of ...
