Table 1 Measured fractions of α-NaNdF4 and secondary NdF3 phases contained in the as-synthesized fluoride salts from the various precursor materials
From: Rare earth metals production using alternative feedstock that eliminates HF
As-synthesized fluoride salt | Weight % of phases in as-synthesized material | |
|---|---|---|
NdF3 | α-NaNdF4 | |
NNF-A | - | 100 |
NNF-C | 10 ± 2 | 90 ± 2 |
NNF-N | 6 ± 1 | 94 ± 1 |
