Manufacturing Process of Ytterbium Oxide

The extensive Ytterbium Oxide production cost report consists of the following major industrial manufacturing process:

1. Production From Ytterbium and Oxygen: The manufacturing process of Ytterbium Oxide involves an ion exchange method. The process starts with the extraction of ytterbium from monazite ore through an ion exchange method. The resulting ytterbium is then treated with oxygen in a reactor. This leads to an oxidation reaction forming Ytterbium Oxide as the final product.

Ytterbium Oxide has a molecular formula of Yb2O3 with a molecular weight of 394.1 g/mol. It is a slightly hygroscopic chemical, and its density is 9.17 g/cm³ under a standard temperature of 25 °C. It has a high melting and boiling point measuring at 2355 °C and 4070 °C, respectively. It is highly insoluble in water but is soluble in hot dilute acids. It is available in the form of powder, pellets, pieces, sputtering targets and tablets as well. It is considered basic anhydride and, thus, reacts with acids and goes through a redox reaction when treated with strong reducing agents.
