Praseodymium Metal is a kind of the Rare Earth Metal. It’s more resistant to corrosion in air than lanthanum, cerium, neodymium, and europium, but it will have a layer of fragile green oxide when exposed to air. Pure praseodymium must be preserved in mineral oil or sealed plastic. Get a Quote Now! For other rare earth metals, please check our Rare Earth Metal catalog page.
Typical applications:
- Rare earth permanent magnet is the most popular application field.
- Praseodymium can also be used as catalyst in petrochemical industry.
- It is mostly used in the form of mixed rare earth elements, such as purification modifier for metal materials, chemical catalyst, agricultural rare earth and so on.
- It can also be used for grinding and polishing materials.
- It has been widely used in the field of optical fibers. A praseodymium doped fiber amplifier (pdfA) has been developed to amplify the spectrum in the range of 1300-1360 nm
