Specifications of Lutetium Rare Earth Element


* Like promethium, Lutetium is also an element which is not that old. Lutetium Rare Earth Element was the last natural rare earth element to be discovered by Charles James and Georges Urbain. Lutetium’s atomic weight is 174.97 and its chemical symbol is Lu.
*Lutetium rare earth element's name comes from Lutetia which is latin name of Paris.

*This silvery-white rare earth element is considered to be non-toxic and Lutetium rare earth element is included in lanthanide element family.

*Lutetium rare earth element’s reaction with air happens slowly and after 150◦C, it burns to the oxide.

*In lanthanide element family, Lutetium is the densest and hardest one.

*Lutetium is mostly used in petrochemical industries for cracking hydrocarbons. And lutetium is also very useful in cancer therapies.


*Lutetium rare earth element's isotopes are so effective reveal the age of ancient meteorites, blue stone...i.e


* Lutetium rare earth element also has applications for petroleum refining

*Metal dust of lutetium element can be highly explosive.

*Lutetium is also hard to find free in nature. Lutetium rare earth element is usually found in some minerals like monzalite.

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 Oxide Dispersion

Graphene oxide refers to a mono-atomic layer material obtained when graphite crystals are oxidized. This is one of the graphene materials that are commercially available because of  its ability to dissolve in water  which makes the oxidation process suitable. In this article, we will talk about the  synthesis, the properties and some of the applications of graphene oxide dispersion in water . Seven Properties of Graphene Oxide Dispersion The properties of a material are defined through its structure, however, this material is very peculiar, since there is no unambiguous model of this material. Graphene Oxide dispersion offers remarkable physical, chemical and mechanical properties that give the opportunity to new applications. Graphene Oxide is amorphous , but, in general, graphene oxide can be described as a two-dimensional sheet containing honeycomb carbon atoms with functional groups of hydroxide and oxygen, unlike the graphene model that seeks to completely re...
