Yttrium trihydroxide(CAS: 16469-22-0)

Yttrium trihydroxide is a chemical compound with the formula Y(OH)₃. It is a white crystalline solid and is an important source of yttrium in various applications.

Yttrium trihydroxide is primarily used as a precursor in the production of yttrium metal and its compounds. It is also used in pharmaceuticals, as a catalyst support, and in the ceramics and glass industries.

While yttrium trihydroxide is generally safe, it should be handled with care. It is non-toxic but may cause irritation if inhaled or if it comes into contact with the skin. Protective measures include the use of gloves and safety goggles.

Yttrium trihydroxide should be stored in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. It should be kept in a tightly closed container to prevent moisture absorption. Avoid contact with water and other reactive materials.
