Samarium metal method: Samarium metal is heated to a high temperature in the air to generate samarium oxide. The advantage of this method is that the process is simple and easy to control, but it needs to use a large number of metal samarium raw materials, and the production cost is high.
Samarium hydroxide method: Samarium hydroxide is added to hydrogen peroxide to obtain samarium oxide. The advantages of this technique are that it has a low number of reaction conditions as well as simple operation. Still, it needs to use a large amount of samarium hydroxide raw material, and the production cost is high.
Samarium oxychloride method: Samarium oxychloride can be heated and decomposed to produce samarium oxide. The advantages of this technique are that it has a low number of reaction conditions as well as simple operation. Still, it must use many samarium oxychloride raw materials, and the production cost is high.
High-temperature decomposition method: Samarium carbonate or samarium hydroxide is added to carbon and heated to high temperatures to produce elemental samarium and carbon dioxide. Elemental samarium reacts with chlorine gas to form samarium chloride, samarium chloride reacts with hydrogen peroxide to form samarium chloride, and finally heats to decompose samarium chloride to form samarium 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 resulting rare earth ion exchange resin is heated to a high temperature and burned to produce samarium oxide. 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.
Analysis reagent: Samarium oxide can be used as an analytical reagent for detecting metal elements, such as samarium, 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.
