Praseodymium metal method: The purity of 99.99% of praseodymium metal is heated to high temperature in the air, which can be oxidized to produce praseodymium oxide. The advantage of this method is that the process is simple and easy to control, but it needs to use a lot of metal praseodymium raw materials, and the production cost is high.
Praseodymium hydroxide method: praseodymium hydroxide is added to hydrogen peroxide for reaction to obtain praseodymium oxide. The benefits of this method are the low reaction time and simple operation. Still, it must use many praseodymium hydroxide raw materials, and the production cost is high.
Praseodymium oxychloride method: praseodymium oxychloride can be heated and decomposed to produce praseodymium oxide. The benefits of this method are the mild reaction conditions and ease of operation. Still, it must use many praseodymium oxychloride raw materials, and the production cost is high.
High-temperature decomposition method: praseodymium carbonate or praseodymium hydroxide is added to carbon and heated to high temperature to generate praseodymium and carbon dioxide. Praseodymium reacts with chlorine gas to produce praseodymium chloride, and praseodymium chloride reacts with hydrogen peroxide to produce praseodymium chloride. Finally, praseodymium chloride is decomposed by heating to obtain praseodymium oxide. The benefits of this method are the low reaction time and simple operation, 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. The produced rare earth ion exchange resin can be heated to high temperatures and burned to produce praseodymium oxide. The advantages of this method are low production cost and easy industrial production, but the need to use a lot of rare earth metal salt raw materials.
Analytical reagent: praseodymium oxide can be used as an analytical reagent for detecting metal elements, such as praseodymium, lanthanide elements, etc. It has the characteristics of high selectivity, high sensitivity, and rapid analysis and is widely used in trace element analysis in geology, environmental protection, chemical industry, and other fields.
Catalyst: Praseodymium oxide has high catalytic performance and low-temperature characteristics and can be used as a catalyst. It can be used in petrochemical, automotive exhaust purification, and other fields and improve catalytic efficiency and selectivity.
Optical materials: Praseodymium oxide has the characteristics of high light transmission, high refractive index, and low scattering and can be used to prepare optical materials. It is widely used in glasses, lenses, solar cells, and other fields and can improve light transmittance, reduce reflection, and increase wear resistance.
Magnetic materials: praseodymium oxide has good magnetic properties and can be used as magnetic materials. It can be used to prepare magnetic recording materials, magnetic sensors, and other fields.
Rare earth intermetallic compounds: praseodymium oxide can react with other metallic elements to produce rare earth intermetallic compounds, such as Pr-Co, Pr-Mn, etc. These intermetallic compounds have unique physicochemical properties and wide application prospects and are used in electronics, catalysis, energy storage, and conversion.
