Polishing media

Period of Wide Technical Application. In the time between 1930 and 1940 work was done on various applications for the rare earth elements. Particularly successful was the production of sunglasses ("Neophan"), polishing media from rare earth oxides to replace iron oxide, decolorization of glass using cerium oxide, pure cerivim oxide as opacifier in ceramic glazes, use of cerium... 

Third example - Although ceric oxide really represents the active element in polishing media, most of the polishing plants are satisfied with about 50 % pure ceric oxide, which is available in the natural mixture of the light rare eai h elements as they are extracted either from bastnasite or monazite, in order to keep the cost of the product low. 

The oonsunption of the rare earth elements is divided into four groups of application (2). One can see from this information that 98 % of the rare earth elements, with respect to quantity, are consumed in the following fields of application metallurgy, chemicals/catalysts, glass and polishing media. If one however looks at the value of the prodiacts then the picture is drastically altered, then phosphors are the most inportant field of application of the rare earth elements. 

The content analysis of the Polish media has been somewhat restricted as compared to that of the Swedish, mainly for practical reasons, such as difficulties in accessing the empirical material and language barriers.9 The analysis of the Polish press has focused primarily on general patterns in the news flow, such as dominant content/ themes and prominent frames. In addition, the search profile was more limited here, even if the number of newspapers studied was greater and the time period longer.10...

Approximately 85% of the resulting hydrated alumina is converted into aluminum metal, with the remaining converted to various forms of alumina (Figure 3.1), for applications ranging from flame-retardants to polishing media and sapphire production.
