Results for tag: "Yttrium"

Yttrium is a rare earth metal found in a variety of minerals, including xenotime, monazite, and bastnasite. It is used in a wide range of applications, including electronics, lasers, and superconductors. Yttrium is also used in the production of phosphors, which are used in television and computer displays. Yttrium is a relatively scarce metal, and its production is largely concentrated in China. The Chinese government has imposed export restrictions on yttrium, which has caused prices to rise in recent years. As a result, many countries have begun to explore alternative sources of yttrium, such as recycling and exploration of new deposits. Companies in the yttrium market include China Minmetals Corporation, Alkane Resources, Lynas Corporation, and Molycorp. Show Less Read more
