Abstract

The selenites of scandium are used as new materials in producing instrument and semi-conductor engineering. Like tellurites, they can also be applied as materials for making lasers. The process of producing scandium selenides by the reduction of the corresponding selenites has the advantage of taking place at relatively low temperatures and high rate. In this respect, it is necessary to command methods of obtaining high-purity selenites and to obtain data concerning their thermal stability. A physicochemical study of the system Sc2O3-SeO2-H2O was carried out at 100°C in order to find solutions to these problems. The possible compounds in the system at a given temperature were obtained. The compounds were identified by the Schreinemakers' method and also by chemical and X-ray phase analyses. The mechanism of thermal decomposition was determined by means of a derivatograph.
