Gadolinium oxide, a rare earth material, is becoming increasingly popular in various industrial applications due to its unique properties. It is a white powder with a molecular weight of 362.50 g/mol and a melting point of 2412 ℃.

How is gadolinium oxide manufactured?

Gadolinium oxide is a mixed rare earth solution of samarium and gadolinium prepared from monazite or mixed rare earth minerals through extraction and purification steps. Gadolinium oxalate precipitates with oxalic acid, then separates, dries, and burns to obtain gadolinium oxide. The preparation process involves several complex procedures, but our highly skilled team ensures that every step achieves the highest accuracy and quality.

Gadolinium oxide is widely used in many industrial applications due to its unique physical and chemical properties. One of its most important applications is in producing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems. It is a contrast agent that can produce clear and vivid images of internal organs and tissues in the body.

In the electronics industry, gadolinium oxide has been used to manufacture phosphors used in cathode ray tubes and other display devices. It is also used in ceramic capacitors and other electronic components to improve their efficiency and performance.

In addition, gadolinium oxide is used as a neutron absorber material in nuclear reactors. It is also used to produce high refractive index glass for optical applications, as well as to produce special glass for various industries.
