Compound Q&A
How is praseodymium (CAS: 7440-10-0) typically synthesized?
Answer
Praseodymium is synthesized through the reduction of its oxide with lanthanum metal or hydrogen gas. Commonly, the ion exchange method and metallothermic reduction are used to prepare pure praseodymium. The process typically yields high purity samples with good selectivity and high yield.
