Sentences with phrase «yttrium from»

For other applications, however, it is necessary to separate europium and yttrium from the rare - earth mixture.

In early 2015, KU Leuven chemists developed ionic liquid technology to recycle europium and yttrium from collected fluorescent lamps and low - energy light bulbs.

Not exact matches

Spanning 17 elements — from lanthanum to lutetium, plus scandium and yttrium — they find use in computers, screens, superconductors, oil refineries, hybrid or electric vehicles, catalytic converters, compact fluorescent lightbulbs, light - emitting diodes, lasers, audio speakers and microphones, cell phones, MRI machines, telecommunications, battery electrodes, advanced weapons systems, polished glass, and even the electric motors that run automobile windows.

«We added the yttrium oxide to the diamond with a technique known as electron beam evaporation, which involves using a beam of electrons to transform molecules of yttrium oxide from the solid state to the gaseous state so that they can be made to cover a surface and solidify on it.»

These range from a few micrograms (e.g. gold, indium, lutetium), or more than a milligram (e.g. zinc, scandium, yttrium, niobium, gadolinium), to more than a gram per day (e.g. phosphorus, iron, sulphur).

Europium and yttrium can be recovered from red lamp phosphor, a powder that is used in fluorescent lamps such as neon tubes.

Researchers from the KU Leuven Department of Chemical Engineering have discovered a method to separate two rare earth elements — europium and yttrium — with UV light instead of with traditional solvents.

Professor Tom Van Gerven from the Department of Chemical Engineering explains: «The traditional method dissolves europium and yttrium in aqueous acid.

In recent years, researchers have begun exploring alternative membranes made from ceramics called yttrium - doped barium zirconates (BZY).

The project was conceived by researchers from MIT's Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC), and aims within three years to develop superconducting electromagnets from a newly available material - a steel tape coated with an yttrium - barium - copper oxide compound.

Fluorescent and luminescent materials, such as yttrium aluminum garnet doped with different metal ions (rare earths or transition metals), have found applicability in various fields, from optoelectronics (i.e.: lighting systems, LCDs, CRTs, lasers) to aerospace (i.e: thermal barriers) and biotechnological applications (i.e.: fluorescence marker, contrast agent in medical imaging, imaging screens, drug delivery etc).

You will have to choose which conductor type you'd want from there (copper / platinum / iridium / yttrium).
