Manufacture of metal europium

Production

Industrial production of metallic europium undergoes two main stages:

• the restoration of the oxide Eu₂ O₃ with carbon or lanthanum in a vacuum ;
• electrolysis of the melt.

This metal is not cheap. Its high cost is associated with the meager contents in rocks with a complex technology of enrichment and purification of the ore. In 2016, the value of this metal ranged from 1000 to 2000 dollars per gram (depending on purity of the metal) and oxide Eu₂ O₃ with a purity of 99.9% — about $ 500 per gram.

Application

In atomic reactors, which are derivatives of europium zirconium are part of the absorption rod. With Halogens this metal forms a light-sensitive crystals. Unstable isotope 154Eu can be used as nuclear fuel. In laser optics this metal serves in the creation of powerful lasers generating radiation with a wavelength of 610 nm,
