A sample of the mineral xenotime (YPO4)

Yttrium phosphate, YPO4, is the phosphate salt of yttrium.[1] It occurs in nature as minerals xenotime[2] and weinschenkite.[3]

Preparation

[edit]

Yttrium phosphate can be obtained by reacting yttrium chloride and sodium phosphate, or by reacting yttrium nitrate and diammonium hydrogen phosphate in solution:[2]

YCl3 + (NH4)3PO4 → YPO4 ↓ + 3 NH4Cl
Y(NO3)3 + (NH4)2HPO4 → YPO4 ↓ + 2 NH4NO3 + HNO3

Yttrium phosphate can also be prepared by the reaction of yttrium(III) oxide and diammonium hydrogen phosphate:[4]

Y2O3 + 2 (NH4)2HPO4 → YPO4 + 2 NH3 + 3 H2O

Yttrium chloride and phosphoric acid are mixed at 35~40°C, and then ammonia solution is added dropwise to react:[5]

YCl3 + H3PO4 + 3NH3•H2O 35-40°C
YPO4 + 3NH4Cl + 3H2O

Properties

[edit]

Yttrium phosphate belongs to the tetragonal crystal system, and the unit cell parameters are a=0.68832 nm, c=0.60208 nm. It can exist as a monohydrate, dihydrate or the anhydrous form. The dihydrate belongs to the monoclinic crystal system, the space group is B 2/b, and the unit cell parameters are a=0.648 nm, b=1.512 nm, c=0.628 nm, β=129.4°, Z=4.[6]

Yttrium phosphate reacts with concentrated alkali to form yttrium hydroxide.[7]

Uses

[edit]

Yttrium phosphate is used as a catalyst and is a potential containment material for nuclear waste.[2] Ce3+-doped yttrium phosphate shows luminescence in the UV range and can be used for tanning lamps.[8][9] Double-doped materials such as Ce3+-Tb3+ have also been reported.
