Insight Into

The recovery of rare earth ions from industrial wastewater has aroused wide concern in recent years. In present work, we synthesized a novel three-dimensional adsorbent (denoted as LF-AA) by grafting loofah fiber with acrylic acid via ultraviolet radiation. The LF-AA was washed by boiling water and subjected to soxhlet extraction with acetone and then fully characterized by attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Rare earth ion (Ce(III)) was selected as a model to validate its adsorption property. The saturation adsorption capacity for Ce(III) reaches 527.5 mg/g. Not only was this material highly efficient at adsorbing Ce(III) from aqueous solutions, it also proved to have ideal performance in regeneration; the total adsorption capacity of LF-AA for Ce(III) after six successive cycles decreased only 6.40% compared with the initial capacity of LF-AA. More importantly, the LF-AA can be easily separated from aqueous solutions because of its three-dimensional sponge natural structure. This study provides a new insight into the fabrication of biomass adsorbent and demonstrated that the LF-AA can be used as excellent adsorbent for the recovery of rare earth ions from wastewater.

Quenching Phenomenon

The precursor prepared by co-precipitation method was sintered at various temperatures to synthesize crystalline manganese tungstate (MnWO4). Sintered MnWO4 showed the best crystallinity at a sintering temperature of 800 °C. Rare earth ion (Dysprosium; Dy3+) was added when preparing the precursor to enhance the magnetic and luminescent properties of crystalline MnWO4 based on these sintering temperature conditions. As the amount of rare earth ions was changed, the magnetic and luminescent characteristics were enhanced; however, after 0.1 mol.%, the luminescent characteristics decreased due to the concentration quenching phenomenon. In addition, a composite was prepared by mixing MnWO4 powder, with enhanced magnetism and luminescence properties due to the addition of dysprosium, with epoxy. To one of the two prepared composites a magnetic field was applied to induce alignment of the MnWO4 particles. Aligned particles showed stronger luminescence than the composite sample prepared with unsorted particles. As a result of this, it was suggested that it can be used as phosphor and a photosensitizer by utilizing the magnetic and luminescent properties of the synthesized MnWO4 powder with the addition of rare earth ions.

The theory that has been developed for rare-earth ions in crystals is here applied to the double nitrates. The paramagnetic resonance data and certain spectroscopic properties of the different rare-earth double nitrates, depending as they do on the crystalline electric field at a rare-earth ion, are related to the six parameters through which the field is defined. It is found that most of the experimental results can be fitted to values of the parameters that vary in a systematic fashion along the rare-earth series.

Facile Hydrothermal Route

Rare earth ions (Tb3+, Eu3+) doped CaWO4 microstructures were synthesized by a facile hydrothermal route without using any templates and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and photoluminescence (PL) spectrum. The results indicate that the asprepared samples are well crystallized with scheelite structure of CaWO4, and the average diameter of the microstructures is 2∼4 μm. The morphology of CaWO4:Eu3+ microstructures can be controllably changed from microspheres to microflowers through altering the doping concentration of Eu3+ from 3% to 35%, and the microflowers are constructed by a number of CaWO4:Eu3+ nanoflakes. Under the excitation of UV light, the emission spectrum of CaWO4:Eu3+ is composed of the characteristics emission of Eu3+ 5D0-7FJ (J = 1, 2, 3, 4) transitions, and that of CaWO4:Tb3+ is composed of Tb3+ 5D4-7FJ (J = 6, 5, 4, 3) transitions. Both of the optimal doping concentrations of Tb3+ and Eu3+ in CaWO4 microstructures are about 5%.

ABSTRACTRare earth ions can easily be incorporated into fluoride glasses in moderate to large concentrations and, due to their low phonon energy, these glasses appear to have many advantages over oxide glasses as hosts for rare earth ions used in optical amplifiers and lasers. We have therefore investigated the optical properties of Pr3+, Pr3+/Yb3+ and Pr3+/Yb3+/Lu3+ doped bulk AIF3-based glass samples as a function of rare earth ion concentration. We find that the addition of 2 wt% of Yb increases the fluorescence of Pr3+ at 1.32 μm by a factor of 35 when excited with 488 nm radiation. The fluorescence intensity and excited state lifetimes are found to be comparable to those measured for Pr in a ZBLAN host. Since it has also been demonstrated that optical fibers drawn from AIF3-based glasses exhibit relatively low loss (< 0.05 dB/m) and posses superior chemical durability compared to other fluotide glasses, it is possible that AIF3 glasses may become the fluoride glass of choice for practical fiber laser and amplifier applications.
