About Neodymium Fluoride

Purify chloride raw materials to separate other impurities, introduce carbon dioxide to form carbonate, then react with high-purity fluorine in special equipment to generate fluoride. Wash the reaction product with hot purified water, dry and dehydrate in vacuum oven. Adjust temperature to remove free fluorine. Introduce hydrogen to transform crystal phase and change refractive index.
