Neodymium Oxide Nd2O3 Powder CAS 1313-97-9

Neodymium metal method: the purity of neodymium metal of 99.99% is heated to high temperature in the air, which can be oxidized to produce neodymium oxide. The advantage of this method is that the process is simple and easy to control, but it needs to use a large amount of metal neodymium raw materials, and the production cost is high.

Neodymium hydroxide method: Neodymium hydroxide is added to hydrogen peroxide for reaction to obtain neodymium oxide. The benefits of this method are the mild reaction conditions and simple operation, but it requires a large amount of neodymium hydroxide raw material and high production costs.

Neodymium oxide process: Neodymium oxide can be generated by heating and decomposition of neodymium oxide. The benefits of this method are the low reactions and easy operation, but it requires a large amount of neodymium oxychloride raw materials and high production costs.

High-temperature decomposition method: Neodymium carbonate or neodymium hydroxide is added to carbon and heated to high temperatures to produce neodymium and carbon dioxide. Neodymium is then reacted with chlorine gas to form neodymium chloride, reacted with hydrogen peroxide to form neodymium chloride, and finally decomposed neodymium chloride to form neodymium oxide by heating. The benefits of this method include mild reaction conditions and simple use, but it needs to use a lot of carbon and chlorine raw materials, and the production cost is high.

Ion exchange method: using rare earth metal salts as raw materials, dissolving them in solvents, and then adding ion exchangers to react to produce rare earth ion exchange resin and ammonium chloride. Neodymium oxide can be produced by heating the produced rare earth ion exchange resin to high temperatures and burning it. The advantages of this method are low production cost and easy industrial production, but it needs to use a lot of rare earth metal salt raw materials.

Neodymium (III) oxide is used to paint glass, including sunglasses, make solid-state lasers, and color glass and enamel. Neodymium-doped glass, which turns purple when absorbed by yellow and green light, is used for welding goggles. Some neodymium-doped glass is dichromatic; it changes color according to the light. A glass named after the mineral verdant is blue when exposed to sunlight and red when exposed to artificial light. Neodymium (III) oxide is also used as a polymerization catalyst.

In addition, neodymium oxide is also mainly used as a coloring agent for glass and ceramics. In the raw material of neodymium metal and strong magnetic neodymium-iron-boron, 1.5% ~ 2.5% nanometer neodymium oxide is added to magnesium alloy or aluminum alloy, which can improve the high-temperature performance, gas tightness, and corrosion resistance of the alloy, and is widely used as aerospace materials. In addition, nanometer yttrium oxide aluminum garnet doped with nanometer neodymium oxide produces a short-wave laser beam, widely used in industry for welding and cutting thin materials with a thickness of less than 10mm. In medical treatment, nanometer yttrium oxide aluminum garnet laser doped with nanometer neodymium oxide is used instead of a scalpel to remove operation or disinfect a wound. Nano-sized neodymium oxide is also used in coloring glass and ceramic materials and rubber products and additives.
