What’s Scandium Oxide powder?
Scandiumoxide has been a key product in the scandium industry. The physical and chemical characteristics of this product is very similar to that of rare earths oxides. Therefore, production techniques are quite similar. Sc2O3 may produce metal scandium and other scandium alloys under certain environmental conditions. Scandium oxide has many uses in aerospace, aluminum alloys, lasers, electronics, lasers, ceramics, and catalyst activators.
Scandium Resources in Nature
Scandium is found in approximately 800 different minerals. There are very few scandium-containing mineral species, mostly due to the interaction with other minerals. You can find many minerals that are scandium-rich, including bauxite phosphorite, Wolframite ilmenite and vanadium-titanium magneticite.
Scandium oxide powder production requires raw materials
Scandium-containing liquid, waste residue, and soot from metallurgy are the main raw materials for making scandium oxide. Also, scandium concentrate is obtained following beneficiation of vanadium–titanium magite.
1. The majority of the sandium-containing material is waste that has been left over from tungsten extraction. Scandium oxide 0.05%) can be found in the original ore of wolframite. Scandium oxide is 150-600 g/t after the extraction. Pretreatment involves dissolving the waste in hydrochloric acids. The resulting ScCl3 solution then becomes the raw material to obtain scandium oxide.
2. A waste liquid containing scandium (mostly the solution following extraction of titanium form ilmenite) Scandium oxide 15-20g/m3 is the primary raw material to extract scandium dioxide from ilmenite.
3. Scandium-containing soot is mainly the soot that has been chlorinated to sponge titanium. Pretreatment of the soot results in acid-dissolved scandium liquid, which is used as raw material to extract scandium oxide.
4. Scandium concentrate, mainly from scandium magnetite beneficiation. Sc 27g/t of vanadium magnetite is present, and Sc 112-114g/t after beneficiation. ScCl3 is obtained by dissolving the scandium concentrate in hydrochloric acids. It is used as raw material to extract scandium dioxide.
