General description

Praseodymium (III) chloride hydrate is soluble in water and alcohol. It is used as a source of Pr to prepare insoluble praseodymium (III)compounds.

Application

Praseodymium(III) chloride hydrate can be used as a dopant to prepare Pr-modified TiO2 nanoparticles for photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants. The addition of Pr ion enhances the thermal stability and surface textural properties of the catalyst.

The rare earth elements impact nearly everyone in the world. All of the people living in advanced technological countries and almost all those living in third world countries utilize the rare earths in their everyday living—the car that one drives (gasoline is refined from oil using rare earth catalysts and catalytic converters reduce the polluting emissions from the automotive exhaust), watching the news on TV (the red and green colors in TV screens), the telephones and computers we use to communicate (the permanent magnets in speakers and disc drives), just to name a few examples.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
