Applications
Gadolinium trioxide mainly apply to process new magnetic material gadolinium gallium garnet (GGG), fluorescent powder for projection television, X-ray intensifying screen and xerographic printer.
99.99% Gd2O3 is good for the host lattice of phosphor . GGG need 99.99% Gd2O3 crystal. In glass industry, gadolinium trioxide is component of special high refractive glass, which need 99.9% one.
