Terbium(Tb) is the one of the lanthanide element with an atomic number 63. Terbium is a silvery white earth metal that is malleable, ductile and soft enough to be cut with a knife. Terbium is an electropositive metal that reacts with water producing hydrogen gas. Terbium is never found as pure element in nature. However, terbium is found as component of many minerals like cerite, gadolinite, monazite, xenotime nad euxenite. Terbium was discovered by Swedish chemist Carl Gustaf Mosander as a separate elemental compound in 1843. Terbium was named after the village of Ytterby in Sweden as yttrium metal. Terbium was not purified until ion exchange technique was found. Most of terbium supply is used in green phosphorous. Nowadays, the richest commercial sources of terbium are the ion-adsorption clays of southern China. Only small amounts of terbium occur in bastnasite and monazite. Due to terbium’s rareness and its expensive prices, it has few commercial uses. Applications of Terbium...

*Terbium Rare Earth Element was discovered by Carl Gustaf Mosander in 1842. * Terbium Rare Earth Element is the 9 th element of Lanthanide element family and its chemical symbol is Tb. * Terbium silvery-gray element is considered to be low toxic and Terbium Rare Earth Element’s atomic weight is 158.9254. *Terbium is a ductile rare earth metal and Terbium Rare Earth Element is not too much rough in air. Terbium Rare Earth Element can sometimes be cut by a knife. Unlike most of other rare earth metals, Terbium may form 4+ ions easily. *Sometimes Terbium metal becomes just like Calcium and it is found in minerals.     *Like many other lanthanide elements, Terbium is used in magnet production and these magnets are being used in            Hybrid Car Engines and other electric motors. * Terbium Rare Earth is also used in lighting applications in different industries. *Terbium Rare Earth Element is considered to be relatively ...
