Synthesis Method of Yttrium Metal
Yttrium metal is primarily obtained through the reduction of yttrium oxide (Y2O3) with calcium or magnesium in a high-temperature vacuum environment. The process involves the following steps:
Preparation of Yttrium Oxide: Yttrium is extracted from minerals such as xenotime and monazite.
Reduction: Yttrium oxide is mixed with calcium or magnesium powder and heated in a vacuum or inert atmosphere to produce yttrium metal.
Purification: The resulting yttrium metal may undergo further purification processes to achieve the desired purity level.
