Title: The Rare Earth Metals and Their Compounds: Thermal Analysis of Rare Earth Nitrate Mixtures
Abstract: A method of analysis is proposed which utilizes thecharacteristic melting points of the hydrated salts andthe liquidus curves of the binary salt mixtures for theestimation of the composition of rare earth mixtures.Several binary salt systems were investigated, employingvery pure simple and double rare earth nitrates toprovide basic information concerning the possibilitiesof the method.
