NEODYMIUM SULFATE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Uses

Neodymium Sulfate, also Neodymium Sulphate, mainly used for catalyst, glass, crystal and capacitors. Colours glass delicate shades ranging from pure violet through wine-red and warm gray. Light transmitted through such glass shows unusually sharp absorption bands. The glass is used in astronomical work to produce sharp bands by which spectral lines may be calibrated. It is also used in CRT displays to enhance contrast between reds and greens. It is highly valued in glass manufacturing for its attractive purple coloring to glass.

Chemical Properties

Pink crystals.Soluble in cold water; sparingly soluble in hot water.

Uses

Neodymium(III) sulfate is used as catalyst, glass, crystal and capacitors, in CRT displays to enhance contrast between reds and greens.
