What is Praseodymium?
Praseodymium (Pr) is a soft, ductile, and malleable metallic chemical element with a silvery-white color that slowly oxidizes when exposed to air, forming a green coating. It belongs to the lanthanide group (light rare earths) and is found, along with other rare earths, in minerals such as monazite and bastnasite.
Praseodymium is valuable for its magnetic, optical and coloring properties:
- Magnetism: It is an essential component of neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) permanent magnets , particularly in alloys with neodymium, where it helps improve coercive force and thermal stability.
- Coloring: Its salts impart vibrant green or yellow colors to glass and ceramics, and are used as pigments.
- Lasers and Optics: It is used in the manufacture of solid-state lasers and in certain types of optical glass.
Common forms of Praseodymium marketed:
- Praseodymium oxide (Pr6O11 or Pr2O3): The most common form of praseodymium in commerce, a brownish-black or greenish-black powder. It is the precursor for the production of metallic praseodymium, pigments, and for use in magnets.
- Praseodymium Metal: Ingots, pellets or flakes, high purity (e.g., 99%, 99.9%).
- Praseodymium Chloride (PrCl3): Used in some chemical applications.
- Praseodymium nitrate (Pr(NO3)3): Precursor for catalysts and pigments.
Key properties of Praseodymium:
- Paramagnetic: In metallic form, but its alloys with neodymium are highly magnetic.
- Colorant: Gives specific colors to glass and ceramics.
- Optical: Useful in the manufacture of high quality optical glass.
- Catalytic: It is used in some chemical reactions.
- Purity: Its application and value depend directly on its purity.
Features and Specifications of Praseodymium:
We market Praseodymium in various forms and grades, adapting to the demands of each industry:
- Praseodymium Oxide (Pr6O11 or Pr2O3):
- Purity: Very high purity grades (e.g., 3N (99.9%), 4N (99.99%), 5N (99.999%)). Purity is critical, especially for magnets, lasers, and optical applications.
- Rare Earth Impurity Content: Very strict control of other lanthanides (La, Ce, Nd, Sm, Eu, etc.) to avoid interference in magnetic, optical or coloring properties.
- Particle Size: Generally powder, with specific particle size distributions.
- Color: May vary slightly depending on oxidation state and purity.
- Praseodymium Metal:
- Purity: High purity (e.g., 99%, 99.9%).
- Format: Ingots, granules, flakes.
- Praseodymium Nitrate (Pr(NO3)3): Technical or research grade.
Main industrial applications of Praseodymium:
Praseodymium is a crucial element in key technologies, driving innovation in automotive, renewable energy, and electronics:
- Permanent Magnets:
- Neodymium-Iron-Boron (NdFeB) Alloys: The most significant use. Praseodymium, often alloyed with neodymium (PrNd), improves the magnetic properties and resistance to demagnetization of these powerful magnets. They are essential in electric vehicle (EV) motors, wind turbine generators, computer hard drives, servo motors, and high-fidelity speakers.
- Glass and Ceramics:
- Dyes: Its salts are used to produce a distinctive green color in glass (“praseodymium glass”) and a bright yellow in ceramics and glazes.
- Didymium Glass: Combines with neodymium to form didymium glass, used in welding goggles to filter yellow light and protect eyesight.
- Light Control Glass: Used in some types of glass to control the transmission of light and heat.
- Lasers:
- Solid State Lasers: In certain types of lasers, particularly for medical and research applications.
- Catalysts: In some chemical reactions.
- Metallurgy: As an additive in magnesium alloys to improve strength and corrosion resistance.
- Matches: In some match and lampshade applications.
Marketing formats:
We supply Praseodymium and its compounds in the formats that best suit the logistics and needs of your project:
- Per Kilogram (KG) or Ton (TM): We adapt to the volumes required by your production, from small quantities for R&D to bulk shipments.
- By Batch or Complete Project: Management of large and complex orders, ensuring consistency in quality and specifications.
- Packaging and Protection: Due to its reactivity, praseodymium metal is carefully packaged in an inert atmosphere (vacuum or argon) to prevent oxidation. Oxides and other salts are packaged in sealed containers (sacks, drums) to prevent moisture and contamination.
Logistics are tailored to each destination and volume, ensuring compliance with national and international regulations for the transportation of rare earths and raw materials, with safe and efficient handling. Traceability and documentation of origin are crucial for praseodymium.
