Europium(III)-sulphate Octahydrate Application

Phosphors: Europium(III)-sulphate octahydrate is used as a precursor in the manufacture of europium-doped phosphors. These phosphors serve in various display technologies, including cathode‐ray tubes (CRTs), plasma screens and fluorescent lamps. They emit red, orange or other light colours when excited by electrons, thereby producing quantifiable colour outputs for display and illumination purposes.

Colour Television Tubes: Historically, europium-doped phosphors were employed in colour television tubes to generate red and blue colours on the screen.

Solid-state Lighting: Europium-doped phosphors are utilised in solid-state lighting applications such as white LEDs and compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs). They contribute to an improved colour rendering index (CRI) and overall efficiency for these light sources.

Biological and Medical Assays: Europium-doped compounds, including europium(III)-sulphate octahydrate, are employed as luminescent markers in biological and medical tests. These markers enable the detection of specific antibodies and DNA with quantifiable sensitivity.

X-ray Imaging: Compounds containing europium, including this octahydrate, have been investigated as contrast agents in X-ray imaging. They may enhance the visibility of specific tissues and organs in medical imaging.
