Oxide Powder

Gadolinium oxide powder (Gd₂O₃), also known as Gadolinia and it is a white powder that is insoluble in water. However, it is soluble in acids and it has a tendency to absorb moisture and carbon dioxide from the air. Gadolinium gallium garnet is utilized in the fabrication of various optical components and as a substrate material for magneto‐optical films. Gadolinium is employed in nuclear marine propulsion systems as a burnable nuclear poison and as a secondary, emergency shutdown measure in some nuclear. It is applied to detect power plant radiation leaks.

Gadolinium oxide powder is utilized for making optical glass and Gadolinium Yttrium Garnets which have microwave applications. High purity of Gadolinium Oxide is utilized for making phosphors for color TV tube and cerium Oxide (in the form of Gadolinium doped ceria) makes an electrolyte with both high ionic conductivity and low operating temperatures that are optimal for cost-effective production of fuel cells.

Gadolinium oxide powder: For magnetic resonance imaging, it is one of the most commonly available forms of the rare earth element Gadolinium, derivatives of which are potential contrast agents. Gadolinium oxide can be produced by thermal decomposition of the hydroxide, nitrate, carbonate, or oxalates. 

Gadolinium oxide powder: Gadolinium has functional properties in alloys and gadolinium can enhance the workability of iron and chromium alloys.  Alloys are resistant to high temperatures and oxidation. It is also employed in alloys for making magnets, electronic components and data storage disks. Its compounds are useful in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), especially in diagnosing cancerous tumors. Gadolinium is remarkable at absorbing neutrons, and so is utilized in the core of the nuclear reactor

Gadolinium oxide powder is used as a raw material for distinct fluorescents compounds, absorption material in atomic reactions, magnetic bubble material, nuclear fuels, and screen-sensitivity increasing material. It is also utilized in many other applications in the chemical, glass and electronic industries. Gadolinium (Gd) is utilized in making Gd yttrium garnets, which have microwave applications. Compounds of Gd are utilized for making phosphors for color cathode TV tubes and for fabricating compact discs and computer memory.
