white powder, density 4. 01, melting point 1152 °c. Boiling point 2230 °c. Insoluble in water, insoluble in hydrochloric acid, nitric acid and sulfuric acid, but soluble in perchloric acid. Hygroscopic in the air, more stable. NH4F · YF3 insoluble double salt was formed with ammonium fluoride.
chemical method: the yttrium oxide is dissolved in hydrochloric acid and diluted to 100~150g/L (according to Y2 03), the solution is heated to 70~80 ℃, then 48% hydrofluoric acid was precipitated. The precipitate was washed, filtered, dried, pulverized, and vacuum dehydrated to produce yttrium fluoride.
used to make each rare earth crystal laser material, an upconversion luminescent material, a fluoride glass optical fiber, and a fluoride optically active glass. In the illumination light source for the fabrication of arc lamp carbon electrodes. It is a raw material for the preparation of yttrium metal by electrolysis.
