Yttrium metal method: The purity of 99.99% yttrium metal is heated to high temperature in the air, which can be oxidized to produce yttrium 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 yttrium raw materials, and the production cost is high.
Yttrium hydroxide method: yttrium hydroxide is added to hydrogen peroxide for reaction to obtain yttrium oxide. The advantages of this technique are low reaction and easy operation, but it requires a large amount of yttrium hydroxide raw material and high production cost.
Yttrium oxychloride method: yttrium oxychloride can be generated by heating and decomposition. The benefits of this technique are the low reaction time and easy operation, but it requires a large amount of yttrium oxychloride raw material and high production cost.
High-temperature decomposition method: yttrium carbonate or yttrium hydroxide is added to carbon and heated to high temperatures to produce elemental yttrium and carbon dioxide. Elemental yttrium then reacts with chlorine gas to form yttrium chloride, yttrium chloride then reacts with hydrogen peroxide to form yttrium chloride, and finally heats to decompose yttrium chloride to form yttrium oxide. The advantages of this technique 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 yttrium 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.
Analytical reagent: yttrium oxide can be used as an analytical reagent to detect metal elements, such as yttrium and lanthanide elements. 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.
Optical materials: yttrium oxide has the characteristics of high light transmittance, 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.
Electronic materials: yttrium oxide has good electrical conductivity and thermal stability and can be used to prepare electronic materials. It can be used to prepare electronic components, such as resistors, capacitors, etc., with high precision and stability advantages.
Superconducting materials: Yttrium oxide can form high-temperature superconducting materials with other metal elements, such as YBaCuO. These superconducting materials have high critical temperatures and good superconductivity, which can provide important technical support for energy transmission and storage.
Ceramic materials: yttrium oxide can prepare high-strength, high-hardness ceramic and wear-resistant materials. It can also be used as a ceramic glaze and color to provide decorative and functional support in architecture, home furnishing, and crafts.
Catalyst: yttrium oxide can be used as a catalyst in petrochemical and environmental protection and other fields. It can improve the selectivity and activity of the catalyst and promote the chemical reaction.
Luminous materials: yttrium oxide can prepare phosphors with high brightness, high color purity, long life, displays, LEDs, and other fields. It improves the stability and performance of light-producing materials. It can also provide technical assistance for lighting display, as well as processing of information.
