Dysprosium(III) chloride can be used as a starting point for the preparation of other dysprosium salt. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand.
Cerium oxide is used as a raw material for the production of glass and ceramics as well as additive in paints and varnishes It is also used in thermal spraying for welding and soldering products and for metal surface treatment products, in industrial polishing.
Cerium(III) chloride heptahydrate is used in the preparation of allylsilanes from esters. It is used as a reducing agent in organic synthesis in place of sodium borohydride. In Luche reaction, carvone gives selectively allylic alcohol.
Cerium(IV) sulfate hydrate is used as a general application for chemical intermediate. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand.
Dysprosium trioxide is used with nickel in cermets, which are used as nuclear reactor control rods. It is also used in ceramics, glass, phosphors, lasers and dysprosium metal halide lamps. It is an important raw material to prepare dysprosium(III) salts via reaction with acids.
Neodymium(III) oxide is used as a catalyst in polymer chemistry. Glasses doped with neodymium(III) oxide are dichroic in nature and is used in welding goggles and other colored glasses. It finds use in solid-state lasers, carbon arc-light electrodes and enamels.
