General Knowledge of Fluorescence Grade-Europium Oxide

Fluorescence grade-- Europium oxide


Europium oxide is often used for TV, phosphors, three-color phosphor for lamp, stimulated emission phosphor of the new X-ray medical diagnostic system. It is also can be used to make Colored lenses and optical filters. Europium oxide is also used as Magnetic bubble storage devices, control materials for nuclear reactor , shielding materials and structural materials.

Europium is a chemical element with the symbol Eu and atomic number 63. It is named after the continent of Europe. It is a moderately hard silvery metal which readily oxidizes in air and water. Being a typical member of the lanthanide series, europium usually assumes the oxidation state +3, but the oxidation state +2 is also common: all europium compounds with oxidation state +2 are slightly reducing. Europium has no significant biological role and is relatively non-toxic compared to other heavy metals. Most applications of europium exploit the phosphorescence of europium compounds.
