Usage

Description

Europium(III) acetate hydrate is a chemical compound derived from Europium, a rare earth element. It is characterized by its white crystalline appearance and is known for its unique chemical and optical properties.

Uses

1. Used in Electronics Industry:
Europium(III) acetate hydrate is used as a phosphor activator for color cathode-ray tubes and liquid-crystal displays used in computer monitors and televisions. Europium Oxide serves as the red phosphor in these applications, and there is no known substitute for it.
2. Used in Speciality Glass Industry:
Europium Acetate is applied in the production of specialty glass for laser material. The excitation of the Europium atom by the absorption of ultraviolet radiation can result in specific energy level transitions within the atom, creating an emission of visible radiation.
3. Used in Chemical Industry:
Europium(III) acetate hydrate is utilized as a fluorescent powder and serves as a chemical reagent in various chemical processes due to its unique properties.

Purification Methods

Recrystallise it several times from water [Ganapathy et al. J Am Chem Soc 108 3159 1986]. [Beilstein 2 II 119.] For europium shift reagents see lanthanide shift reagents in “Aliphatic Compounds”, Chapter 4.
