3 wrz 2024 · Following a commissioning phase, this facility is expected to produce commercial quantities of highly enriched Ytterbium-176 for sale during 2025. Ytterbium-176 (176 Yb) is a key stable isotope used in the production of Lutetium-177 (177 Lu). Lutetium-177 is an emerging beta emitting radiopharmaceutical used in oncology drugs such as Novartis ...
2 dni temu · - The Company expects to be able to achieve a 99.75% enrichment for Ytterbium-176 and offer highly enriched Ytterbium-176 for commercial sale during 2025, with samples available during 1Q 2025.
Properties of Ytterbium. Ytterbium has several unique properties: Soft and Malleable: It is easy to bend and mold. Bright Appearance: Ytterbium has a shiny surface but slowly turns golden or brown when exposed to air. Reactive: It reacts slowly with cold water but faster with hot water. It also reacts with acids and halogens.
Ytterbium is a chemical element; it has symbol Yb and atomic number 70. It is a metal, the fourteenth and penultimate element in the lanthanide series, which is the basis of the relative stability of its +2 oxidation state. Like the other lanthanides, its most common oxidation state is +3, as in its oxide, halides, and other compounds.
2 dni temu · Ytterbium-176 Enrichment. Construction of the Company’s Ytterbium-176 enrichment facility was completed in late August 2024, approximately 9 months ahead of schedule. This is the Company’s third enrichment facility in South Africa and its first isotope enrichment plant to utilize Quantum Enrichment, a novel laser-based method of enrichment.
18 gru 2012 · Key Properties. The key properties of ytterbium include: It is has a shiny and bright surface. It is ductile and malleable. It reacts slowly with water. It reacts in a rapid manner with liquid ammonia and acids. It is a lot more reactive in comparison with other lanthanide elements.
In its metallic form, ytterbium is a bright and shiny metal that is both ductile and malleable and is more reactive than the other lanthanide metals, quickly tarnishing in air as it reacts with oxygen. Seven naturally occurring isotopes of ytterbium are known ranging from mass numbers 168 to 176.
