| | Gadolinium nitrate Usage And Synthesis |
| Uses | Gadolinium Nitrate is used for making optical glass and dopant for Gadolinium Yttrium Garnets which have microwave applications, also applied in special catalyst and phosphors. Gadolinium Nitrate is also used for making green phosphors for color TV tubes. It is used in many quality assurance applications, such as line sources and calibration phantoms.
| | Chemical Properties | Colorless crystals, soluble in water, decomposes at 110C, purities up to 99.9% gadolinium salt | | Uses | Gadolinium(III) nitrate is used as an oxidizing agent and the precursor material in the preparation of gadolinium compounds. It is extensively employed in the production of specialized glasses and ceramics. It is also employed in heavy water nuclear reactors. | | Hazard | Fire risk in contact with organic materials |
