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 12^th 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.

Improving Dialysis Process with Graphene

Researchers from Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Departments of MIT recently showed that graphene is a powerful material candidate for use in the dialysis systems (such as hemodialysis machines in medical institutes for filtering human blood). In order to prepare graphene as a dialysis material, researchers used a procedure opposite to the general treatments that nanotechnology people use. Dialysis is a process of filtering different solutions such as human blood by a membrane in order to remove waste molecules, drugs, chemical residues from the solution. In some cases, the process can be used for purification of chemicals or isolation of different molecules for medical diagnosis. It is an essential process for scientists especially in the medical operations.

Graphene Tyres and Graphene Brake Pads

Could Graphene Use Create A Distruptive Technology In Tyre Sector? Almost every day, we see new applications emerging from graphene. The fact is certain; graphene is a disruptive technology that holds huge potential for commercialization. Graphene has abilities to open new markets and even replace existing materials or material technologies. A brand new application of graphene came out which is producing graphene tyres and brake pads. https://www.canadacarbon.com/brake-linings-gasket... In 2016 GraphChina (Graphene Innovation Conference); Sentury and Huagao launched their first electrostatic conducting graphene tyre on September 22nd. 2-3 weeks before the conference Sentury and Huagao officially announced their cooperation on the product. During the press conference, Sentury’s engineers (which is branded with the Landsail moniker), revealed that the latest test data shows their graphene-enhanced tyre offers; 1.8 meters shorter stopping distances (6 % improvement on conv...
