Indium is a soft, silvery metal with the chemical symbol In. Indium is used as an alloy, as a metal plating, and for photoconductors. Indium is associated with ores of iron, copper, and lead, and with zinc minerals such as chalcopyrite (CuFeS 2) and sphalerite ( (Zn,Fe)S). In Virginia, both chalcopyrite and sphalerite are common in small amounts.

بیشترThe current study is based on the Crater Lake scandium deposit, which, to our knowledge, is the only deposit in a syenite complex with production potential and in which scandium is the principal ore metal. Hedenbergite is the main scandium mineral at Crater Lake, but subordinate proportions of scandium are also hosted by hastingsite.
بیشترIt is a transition metal, appearing in Group 3 (IIIB). Scandium is a moderately abundant element. However, it tends to be spread out throughout the earth rather than concentrated in a few places. This makes it difficult to isolate. In fact, scandium is classified as a rare earth element. Rare earth elements are not really "rare."

بیشترGeneral. Scandium (from the Latin Scandia "Scandinavia") is a chemical element with the symbol Sc and atomic number 21. In the periodic table it is in the 3. Subgroup (group 3) or scandium group. The soft, silver-white element is the first of the transition metals and is also attributed to the metals of the rare earths.

بیشترHigh water content is favorable in forming Sc-rich clinopyroxene. • Magmatic deposits are estimated to contribute about 90% of the global Sc resources. Abstract. Scandium (Sc), known as the 'miracle metal', has unique properties in material sciences, and is a critical resource in the world due to the low supply but wide applications in ...
بیشترApplications. One of the major scandium application areas is the development of high strength light aluminum alloys. Scandium influences the alloy structure, promotes formation of a subgrain structure and prevents the recrystallization due to the following features: •. scandium interacts with aluminum under the eutectic type phase diagram ...
بیشترThe recovery of scandium (Sc) from wastes and various resources using solvent extraction (SX) was discussed in detail. Moreover, the metallurgical extractive procedures for Sc recovery were presented. Acidic and neutral organophosphorus (OPCs) extractants are the most extensively used in industrial activities, considering that they …
بیشترRare earths are also used as a refiner in gas used to fuel internal combustion engines. Rare earth magnets, like that of Neodymium-iron-boron, are used in sensors, and even ferrite magnets contain small amounts of rare earths and minor metals like Lanthanum and Cobalt to improve magnet performance by as much as 25%.
