Usage

General Description

Thulium-166 is a radioisotope of the rare earth metal thulium. It is commonly used in medical applications suchjson as cancer therapy, where it is used in targeted radionuclide therapy to deliver radiation directly to cancer cells. Thulium-166 is typically produced by bombarding natural thulium with neutrons in a nuclear reactor. Once produced, thulium-166 decays by emitting beta particles, which can be used to destroy cancer cells. It has a relatively short half-life of 13.8 days, which allows for effective treatment while minimizing the risk of long-term radiation exposure. Thulium-166 has shown promise in the treatment of various cancers, including liver, bone, and colon cancers.

Liquid-liquid solvent extraction of rare earths from chloride medium with sec-nonylphenoxy acetic acid and its mixtures with neutral organophosphorus extractants

In the present study, sec-nonylphenoxy acetic acid (CA100) and its mixtures with four neutral organophosphorus extractants, tri-butyl-phosphate (TBP), 2-ethylhexyl phosphonic acid di-2-ethyl ester (DEHEHP), Cyanex923, and Cyanex925 have been applied to the extraction of rare earths. Results show that all the four mixing systems do not have evident synergistic effects on the extraction of rare earths. The different extraction effects have been considered to the separation of rare earths. The four mixtures may be applied to the separation of yttrium from some certain lanthanoids at proper mole fractions of CA100. Pleiades Publishing, Ltd., 2011.

Temperature dependent rate constants for the reactions of gas phase lanthanides with N2O

The reactivity of gas phase lanthanide (Ln) atoms (Ln=La-Yb with the exception of Pm) with N2O from 298 to 623 K is reported. Lanthanide atoms were produced by the photodissociation of Ln(TMHD)3 (TMHD=2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanat

Thermodynamics of sublimation and crystal chemistry of Tm0.77Te

The congruent vaporization of solid Tm0.77Te (rhombohedral, with hexagonal lattice parameters a = 430.9 pm, c = 1083.8 pm) was investigated by the Knudsen effusion weight-loss technique over the temperature range 1624 - 1798 K. Using literature data for the enthalpies of dissociation of gaseous TmTe and Te2 and for the free energy functions of gaseous TmTe, Te2, thulium and tellurium, an equation for vaporization to the atoms is given. A vapor pressure equation is provided. Second and third law calculations based on estimated thermodynamic data for Tm0.77Te yielded the standard enthalpies and entropies of reaction. The crystal chemistry and thermochemical properties are discussed.
