General information about neodymium

The chemical symbol Nd, is a silvery white shiny metal from the lanthanoid group, and is moderately toxic. It oxidizes rapidly in the air. The main sources of neodymium are monazite and bastnaesite. Neodymium can be extracted from them by ionic exchange and solvent extraction. This element can also be obtained by reduction of anhydrous NdCl3 chloride or NdF3 fluoride with metallic calcium. Evek GmbH offers to buy rare-earth metals. The price from the manufacturer. The supplier provides prompt delivery of products to any address.

Applications

Neodymium is widely used in alloys with iron and boron to create very strong permanent magnets. This discovery allowed the miniaturization of many electronic devices, including cell phones, microphones, loudspeakers and electronic musical instruments. Neodymium magnets are also used in windshield wipers and wind turbines. Some neodymium salts, oxide and nitrate, are used as catalysts in polymerization reactions.

Optics

Neodymium is an important component of special glasses used during glass blowing and welding. The element colors glass surfaces in subtle shades of purple, red and gray. Neodymium is also used in tanning booth glass because it fully transmits ultraviolet tanning rays, but it retards infrared rays. Neodymium glass is used in the manufacture of lasers and also as laser pointers. This metal finds application in eye surgery, cosmetic surgery, and skin cancer treatment.
