Gadolinium oxide particles is a white amorphous powder of rare earth oxides, relative density of about 7.407, melting point of about 2330 ℃, insoluble in water but soluble in acid, easier to absorb moisture and carbon dioxide in the air, in the optics, medical, nuclear industry and other fields have a wide range of applications.
Properties
Appearance: Gadolinium oxide is usually white amorphous or yellowish particles.
Density: Relatively high density of about 7.41g/cm³, which gives Gadolinium Oxide particles good stability and weight in some applications.
Melting point: Melting point up to about 2339 ℃, with high thermal stability, able to maintain the stability of structure and properties in high temperature environment.
Hygroscopicity: Hygroscopic, easily absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide from the air, therefore moisture protection and sealing are required during storage and use.
Solubility: insoluble in water, but easily soluble in acid, and react with acid will generate corresponding salt compounds.
Stability: Relatively stable chemically, but may react with some substances under specific conditions, such as at high temperatures or in the presence of strong oxidising agents.
Optical properties: Gadolinium oxide has certain optical properties, such as absorption, scattering or emission of certain wavelengths of light, which makes it valuable for applications in optical glass, fluorescent materials and other fields.
