Technical Feature
The chemical symbol Te, is a metalloid - half metal - very toxic and teratogenic (can harm developing embryos). It is used in alloys, mostly with copper and stainless steel, to improve their workability. When added to lead, it increases resistance to acids and improves strength and hardness. Tellurium is used for vulcanizing rubber, tinted glass and ceramics, in solar cells, rewritable CDs and DVDs, and as a catalyst inoil refining, and alloyed with silver, gold, copper, or tin as a semiconductor, and alloyed with cadmium and mercury to form light-sensitive semiconductors. Buy any rare earth metals Evek GmbH offers. The price from the manufacturer. The supplier provides prompt delivery of products to any address.
Geology
The minerals most rich in tellurium are calaverite, sylvanite, and tellurite. Tellurium is also isolated from the anodic drilling mud, which is formed during the electrolytic refining of copper. Such solutions contain up to 8% tellurium .
Applications
A silvery-white, brittle, lustrous metalloid, a photosensitive semiconductor, it burns with a greenish-blue flame in the air and forms white tellurium dioxide (TeO2). In compounds, tellurium usually has valence IV and VI. Tellurides with other metals, as well as oxide (TeO3) and tellurate (TeO4), are best known. Tellurium doping leads to a reduction in the corrosive effects of sulfuric acid and increases the strength and hardness of lead in electric batteries Cadmium telluride (CdTe) is used as a thin film in solar cells that convert sunlight into electricity. Tellurium is used in rubber vulcanization and in catalysts for petroleum cracking and explosives production.
