99.9% Purity Dysprosium Fluoride DyF3 White Powder CAS 13569-80-7

Dysprosium Fluoride (DyF₃): Medical Scintillators, Laser Crystals, IR Fibers, Specialty Alloys

Dysprosium Fluoride is an inorganic compound with the molecular formula DyF3. It appears as a white powder with a density of 5.95 g/cm³, a melting point of 1360°C, and a boiling point >2200°C. It is insoluble in water and poorly soluble in hydrochloric, nitric, and sulfuric acids but dissolves in perchloric acid. Hygroscopic in air, it remains relatively stable.

Applications

1. Scintillators for modern medical imaging and nuclear science.
2. Laser materials in rare-earth crystals.
3. Fluoride glass optical fibers and rare-earth infrared glass.
4. Special alloys and electrolytic production of metallic dysprosium.

About Dysprosium Fluoride
Purify chloride salt feedstock to remove impurities, then introduce CO2 to form carbonate. React with high-purity fluorine in specialized equipment to produce fluoride. Wash the product with hot purified water and dry in a vacuum furnace to remove moisture. Adjust temperature to eliminate free fluorine. Introduce hydrogen to transform crystal phase and modify refractive index.
