Rare Earth Oxide

Rare earth oxides refer to the oxides of 15 lanthanide elements (atomic numbers 57 to 71) in the periodic table, along with scandium (Sc) and yttrium (Y), which share similar chemical properties, totaling 17 elements. These rare earth elements are widely used in petroleum, chemical engineering, metallurgy, textiles, ceramics, glass, permanent magnets, and other fields. With advancements in technology and continuous breakthroughs in application techniques, the value of rare earth oxides is expected to grow significantly.
