What is Neodymium oxide?
Neodymium Oxideis an extremely versatile and diverse rare earth oxide. It’s used primarily in Neodymium iron Boron (NdFe-B), permanent magnets and televisions. The elegant color of neodymium oxide is also a great discolorer. The oxide can also be used to make ceramics, dye textiles and superconductivity, as well as other high-tech materials. There has been a steady increase in research and applications of neodymium oxygen in the field catalysis. This includes catalyzing carboxylic acid ester synthesis as well as the amination fatty alcohols. Good catalytic properties are demonstrated by nano-neodymium oxygen.
Physical and Chemical Properties of Neodymium Oxide
Neodymium dioxide is a type of lavender solid-powder. Your body can be easily affected by water. It is able to absorb carbon dioxide found in the atmosphere. It is not soluble or soluble with water. The melting point for neodymium oxide is around 1900 and its relative density is 7.24. Partially, heating the air may cause the high cost for neodymium oxygen. Three types of neodymiumoxide crystal structures are available: triangular, cubic and hexagonal. This material is more magnetic than traditional neodymium-oxide materials due to its smaller structure and the surface of nanoparticles of neodymiumoxide nanoparticles.
Neodymium Oxide: The preparation process
1. The chemical precipitation method
Chemical precipitation is the most common and widely-used method to prepare nano neodymiumoxid particles from liquid phases. You use various precipitating materials and raw materials with neodymium Ions to make insoluble carbonate, oxalate, precursors and precipitate, filter, then calcine the precursors to get nano-scaled neodymium powder. There are several methods that can be used to make neodymium oxide powder. These include co-precipitation (homogeneous precipitation), complex precipitation, and others. It is very simple and easy to perform, as well as low on equipment. The method can be used to prepare nano neodymium powder materials for industry or laboratories. It is also easy to make agglomerates of precursor particles during the preparation. This results in large final nano neodymium powder particles.
2. Pyrolysis is a method of removing toxins from the body.
Nano-neodymiumoxide can be prepared by pyrolysis. Although the process is straightforward, cost-effective, high yield, and easy to manage, the particle shape is not very well controlled and particles are difficult to achieve with identical sizes. Thermal decomposition, for example, uses 2-nitrobenzoic Acid and neodymium Nitrate as raw materials in order to produce nano neodymium powder. It has an average particle size 15nm.
Neodymium oxide application areas
1. Applications in catalysis
Ultrafine powders of rare earth neodymium oxalate ultrafine have many applications in catalysis. The nano-neodymiumoxid ultrafine powder is used for the synthesis important chemical raw material such as butyl propionate and isobutylacetate. Additionally, carbon nanotubes with Nd2O3 particles are excellent catalysts to decrease the quantity of solid rocket propellants. Thermal decomposition temperatures of ammonium chlorate increase their burning rates.
2. Applications in ceramic industries
The ceramic industry can also benefit from ultrafine rare Earth neodymium powder. A rare earth metal neodymium dioxide film coated ceramic pigment has a beautiful pearlescent hue. It is light violet in color. It’s more stable than most other pigments. The color is more delicate, more subtle, is less saturated, is more original, and has a better finish. This pigment can provide excellent UV shielding properties. A new laser-working material is Nd-dopedytrium oxide ceramics (Nd/Y2O3). It has the potential to be used in high power lasers.
