White, purplish red powder, density 506, melting point 1410 ℃, boiling point 2300 ℃. Insoluble in water, also insoluble in hydrochloric acid, nitric acid and sulfuric acid, but soluble in perchloric acid. Hygroscopic in the air, more stable. Formation of NH4F.NdF3 insoluble double salt with ammonium fluoride.
neodymium oxide was dissolved in hydrochloric acid and diluted to 100-48% g/L (as nd2o3), and the solution was heated to 70-80 °c and precipitated with hydrofluoric acid. The precipitate was washed, filtered, dried, pulverized and vacuum dehydrated to obtain neodymium fluoride.
scintillators, rare-earth crystal laser materials and rare-earth fluoride glass optical fibers used in the fabrication of detectors, in the metallurgical industry are additives for aerospace magnesium alloys and electrolytic production of metals. In the illumination light source for the fabrication of arc lamp carbon electrodes.

use | used to prepare scintillators for detectors, rare earth crystal laser materials and rare earth fluoride glass optical fibers, which are additives for aviation magnesium alloys in the metallurgical industry And electrolytic production of metals. It is used in lighting sources to manufacture arc lamp carbon electrodes. Used to prepare neodymium metal and neodymium iron boron alloy |
production method | neodymium oxide is dissolved in hydrochloric acid and diluted to 100~150g/L (calculated by Nd2O3), the solution is heated to 70~80 ℃, and then precipitated with 48% hydrofluoric acid. The precipitate is washed, filtered, dried, crushed, and dehydrated in vacuum to obtain neodymium fluoride. |
