New information on the use of ytterbium oxide Yb2O3 in 2021

 Overview of Ytterbium Oxide Yb2O3

Ytterbium oxide has the chemical formula Yb2O3. The molecular weight is 394.08. The pure product is colorless powder, light brown or yellow when it contains thulium oxide. Slightly hygroscopic, absorb carbon dioxide from the air. The proportion is 9.2. The melting point is 2,346°C. It is the weakest one in the yttrium group except for lutetium oxide. It is insoluble in water and cold acid, but soluble in hot dilute acid. Ytterbium oxide is used in the manufacture of permanent magnet materials, glass, ceramic colorants, laser materials, heat shielding coating materials, electronic materials, battery materials, biopharmaceuticals, electronics industry and chemical research applications showing superior performance. With the development of science and technology, large particles of ytterbium oxide are used in coating, sputtering, vacuum coating and other fields. For example, ytterbium oxide is coated on the surface of diamond, which increases the infrared transmittance of sewing by 12%, and has high resistance. Rain corrosion performance, the demand for large particles of ytterbium oxide is increasing. Because large particles of ytterbium oxide are used as thermal spraying powder, the amount of fine particles formed during thermal spraying will be reduced, and the fine particles formed by small particles during thermal spraying will adhere. The deposits deposited on the inner wall of the nozzle of the thermal spraying device fall off from the inner wall and are mixed into the thermal spray coating to reduce the accumulation resistance of the thermal spray coating, and directly prepare ytterbium oxide powder particles that meet the requirements of thermal spraying. Can improve coating density, accumulation resistance and abrasion resistance. The particle size of ytterbium oxide prepared by the traditional methods of ytterbium oxalate precipitation or ytterbium carbonate precipitation in the rare earth industry is generally in the range of 1 to 15μm. This ytterbium oxide is granulated as a thermal spray powder, and its coating is not as good as direct spray coating of large particles of ytterbium oxide. Layer performance.

Ytterbium is one of the elements that are difficult to separate and purify among all rare earth elements. Ytterbium oxide is a colorless solid, insoluble in water, soluble in hot dilute acid. Preparation method: Adjust the pH of the ytterbium salt solution to 2 with ammonia water, add saturated oxalic acid or ammonium oxalate solution, heat, filter, calcinate, or put the ytterbium hydroxide (or ytterbium carbonate) in the air at 900 Calcined at ℃. The application of high-purity ytterbium is currently still in the research and development or small-scale trial stage, mainly used for light, electricity, magnetism and some new functional materials, such as luminescent materials, optical glass, laser components, sensors, high temperature superconductors, medical imaging Agent, optical fiber, magnetic levitation, fuel cell, etc. Strengthening the research on the preparation process of high-purity Yb2O3 is of great significance for promoting its application research and giving full play to the advantages of my country's rare earth resources.

Application of Ytterbium Oxide Yb2O3 Powder

Ytterbium oxide is used to make special alloys, ceramic dielectrics, industrial luminous carbon rods, special glasses and catalysts. Examples of its applications are as follows:

1) A method for preparing fused silica ceramic materials containing nano-level ytterbium oxide belongs to the field of high-temperature structural ceramic materials. The raw materials used in the ceramic material and the weight percentages of the raw materials are: 97-99% of fused silica powder and 1-3% of nano-grade ytterbium oxide. The preparation method is to mix fused silica powder and nano-grade ytterbium oxide, add an appropriate amount of water and stir to form a slurry. After dehydration and drying, the slurry is wet mixed with a polyvinyl alcohol solution, and then sieved, stirred, trapped, formed, and dried. The green body is sintered at 1300~1400°C for 1~3 hours to obtain a fused silica ceramic material containing nano-grade ytterbium oxide. The material of the present invention has lower thermal expansion rate and higher safety and reliability than the fused silica ceramic material containing micron ytterbium oxide, and can provide a kind of material for glass melting, steel and non-ferrous metal metallurgy, electronics, military missiles, spacecraft and other fields in China New high-temperature structural materials have broad application prospects and the significance of strengthening national defense.

2) Preparation of fused silica ceramic materials containing boron carbide-ytterbium oxide, which belongs to the field of high-temperature structural ceramic materials. The raw materials used in the ceramic material and the weight percentages of the raw materials are: 97-99% of fused silica fine powder, and 1 to 3% of boron carbide-ytterbium oxide (mass ratio 1:1) mixed fine powder. The preparation method is to dry-mix the fused silica fine powder, the boron carbide fine powder and the ytterbium oxide fine powder, and then add the polyvinyl alcohol solution binder to the wet mixing, and then sieve, stir and trap the material to obtain a blank for forming a green body. The forming pressure of the green body is ≥50MPa. After drying, the body is heated at 1100°C for 1 to 2 hours, and then heated at 1250 to 1400°C for 1 to 3 hours to obtain a fused silica ceramic material containing boron carbide-ytterbium oxide. The ceramic material has a low thermal expansion rate and a low degree of crystallization. The invention can provide a new high-temperature structural material for the fields of glass melting, steel, military industry, aerospace and the like in my country.
