High Purity Ytterbium Oxide Yb2O3 Powder CAS 1314-37-0, 99.9%

Description of Ytterbium Oxide Yb2O3 Powder  :

Ytterbium oxide Oder ytterbium trioxide This is one the most commonly found compounds in ytterbium. It's a rare earth C-type sesquioxide structure that is linked with a fluorite structure where a quarter of the anions are removed. This results in ytterbium molecules in two distinct six-coordinate (nonoctahedral) environments. Ytterbium oxide  Formula chemical Is Yb2O3. Ytterbium oxide molecular Weight Is 394.08. Pure ytterbium oxide When containing thulium oxide, it is either a colorless powder or light brown to yellow. The micro-hygroscopicity makes it easy to absorb water, carbon dioxide, and other substances from the air into basic ytterbium carbonate. It's the only alkalinity that is weaker than lutetium oxide in the atrium group.

Ytterbium oxide is a white amorphous material with slight hygroscopicity. The melting point is 2346, and the relative density is 9.17. Ytterbium oxide is insoluble with water and cold acid but soluble when heated dilute acids are used. The oxidation state of ytterbium is divalent or trivalent. Ytterbium at room temperature can slowly be oxidized with air or water. A colorless powder called ytterbium dioxide can also be dispersed in acid to make colorless salts like ytterbium sodium nitrate and ytterbium Sulfate. Also, colorless, paramagnetic trivalent ytterbium ions have sharp absorption bands within the near-infrared spectrum. This can be used for quantitative analysis of ytterbium. You can reduce the ytterbium-chloride (YbCl3) with hydrogen. An aqueous solution can make the bivalent trivalent ytterbium Ion unstable.

Technical Parameter for Ytterbium Iron Oxide Yb2O3 powder :

Production Method Ytterbium Oxide Yb2O3 Powder ：
Direct synthesis: Direct reaction of metal ytterbium and oxygen at high temperatures, or reaction of ytterbium trioxide and carbon at high temperatures to produce ytterbium oxide. The formula is Yb2O3 or Yb2O3·C→YbO2+Yb2O3.

Calcination method: direct calcination of ytterbium trioxide in the air to obtain ytterbium oxide.

Compound decomposition method: Salts that contain ytterbium, oxides, or hydroxides from alkali metals, also known as alkaline earth metals, are broken down in solutions to form ytterbium oxide. For example, ytterbium hydroxide is obtained by a double decomposition reaction with alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxide and ytterbium fluoride in water and then by calcining ytterbium hydroxide to obtain ytterbium oxide.

Ion exchange method: An ion exchanger is used to interact with a solution containing ytterbium to separate ytterbium in the form of an oxide. For example, an ion exchange of a solution containing ytterbium with the anion exchange agent SDB (sulfonated styrene-divinylbenzene) can separate ytterbium as an oxide.

Electrolysis: A solution containing ytterbium is passed into the electrolytic cell, electrolysis is carried out with an appropriate type of electrode (such as graphite or stainless steel electrode), and ytterbium oxide is precipitated on the electrode.
