Europium is a lanthanide rare-earth metal with atomic number 63. It is chemically notable for the relative stability of both Eu³⁺ and Eu²⁺, a contrast to most lanthanides, which are dominated by the +3 state. This redox flexibility controls much of its mineral behavior and its optical technology. Europium is best known for intense, narrow luminescence from Eu³⁺ and Eu²⁺ ions in solid hosts, especially in phosphors and security materials.
As with other rare-earth metals, except for lanthanum, europium ignites in air at about 150 to 180°C. Europium is about as hard as lead and is quite ductile. It is the most reactive of the rare-earth metals, quickly oxidizing in air. It resembles calcium in its reaction with water. Bastnasite and monazite are the principal ores containing europium.
The name derives from the continent of Europe. It was separated from the mineral samaria in magnesium- samarium nitrate by the French chemist Eugène-Anatole Demarçay in 1896. It was also first isolated by Demarçay in 1901.
Europium was discovered by Eugène-Antole Demarçay, a French chemist, in 1896. Demarçay suspected that samples of a recently discovered element, samarium, were contaminated with an unknown element. He was able to produce reasonably pure europium in 1901. Today, europium is primarily obtained through an ion exchange process from monazite sand ((Ce, La, Th, Nd, Y)PO4), a material rich in rare earth elements.
Named after Europe. In 1890 Boisbaudran obtained basic fractions from samarium-gadolinium concentrates which had spark spectral lines not accounted for by samarium or gadolinium. These lines subsequently have been shown to belong to europium. The discovery of europium is generally credited to Demarcay, who separated the rare earth in reasonably pure form in 1901. The pure metal was not isolated until recent years.
Pure europium is a soft, silvery metal that tarnishes rapidly in air and can darken as oxide and hydroxide layers form. It is among the more reactive lanthanide metals and is usually stored under inert gas or oil to limit oxidation.
Europium is used chiefly as an activator ion in luminescent materials. Eu³⁺ gives red emission in many oxide and vanadate phosphors, while Eu²⁺ can give blue, green, or other emissions depending on the host lattice. These phosphors have been important in color television tubes, fluorescent lamps, light-emitting diodes, displays, and anti-counterfeiting inks. Europium-doped materials are also used as optical probes in analytical assays, taking advantage of sharp emission lines and long-lived excited states.
Europium is the most reactive of the rare earth elements. There are no commercial applications for europium metal, although it has been used to dope some types of plastics to make lasers. Since it is a good absorber of neutrons, europium is being studied for use in nuclear reactors.
Europium oxide (Eu2O3), one of europium's compounds, is widely used as a red phosphor in television sets and as an activator for yttrium-based phosphors.
Europium-doped plastic has been used as a laser material. With the development of ion-exchange techniques and special processes, the cost of the metal has been greatly reduced in recent years.
Isotopes in Geochronology
For more than 40 years, weapons-grade plutonium was manufactured by the Krasnoyarsk Mining and Chemical Combine in the now closed town of Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia, using single-pass uranium-graphite production reactors [447] Z. G. Gritchenko, Y. V. Kuznetsov, V. K. Legin, V. N. Strukov. Radiochemistry44, 199 (2002).. Water from the Yenisei River was used for heat removal from the reactor core. Radioactively contaminated water was discharged into the Yenisei River and was a primary source of contamination of bottom sediments and floodland for hundreds of kilometers down gradient from the Krasnoyarsk Mining and Chemical Combine. In 2002, radioactive contamination of the bottom sediments and floodlands was composed primarily of 137Cs, 152Eu, 154Eu, and 60Co [447] Z. G. Gritchenko, Y. V. Kuznetsov, V. K. Legin, V. N. Strukov. Radiochemistry44, 199 (2002).. The decrease in the isotope-amount ratio n(154Eu)/n(152Eu) down the depth profiles (Fig. IUPAC.63.1) enables one to determine the age of bottom sediments and floodlands of the Yenisei River and calculate their average formation rates [447] Z. G. Gritchenko, Y. V. Kuznetsov, V. K. Legin, V. N. Strukov. Radiochemistry44, 199 (2002)..
Isotopes in Industry
Europium isotopes have been used in nuclear-control applications because they are good neutron absorbers [448] C. R. Hammond. “The elements”, in CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, C. Press, Taylor & Francis Group (1998).. 152Eu (with a half-life of 13.5 years), which is produced by 151Eu via the neutron capture reaction 151Eu (n, γ) 152Eu, and 154Eu (with a half-life of 8.59 years) are used as reference sources for calibration in gamma ray spectroscopy (Fig. IUPAC.63.2) [449] K. V. Vimalnatha, M. K. Dasb, M. Ananthakrishnana, N. Ramamoorthy. Appl. Radiat. Isot.62, 17 (2005)..
Isotopes Used as a Source of Radioactive Isotope(s)
Reactions on 153Eu can produce the therapeutic radionuclide 153Sm (with a half-life of about 1.9 days) via fast neutron irradiation 153Eu (n, p) 153Sm [451] M. Al-Abyad, I. Spahn, S. Sudár, M. Morsy, M. N. H. Comsan, J. Csikai, S. M. Qaim, H. H. Coenen. Appl. Radiat. Isot.64, 717 (2006)..
Europium chemistry is dominated by ionic compounds of Eu³⁺, but Eu²⁺ compounds are unusually accessible for a lanthanide and resemble alkaline-earth compounds in size and behavior. Europium(III) oxide, Eu₂O₃, is a common source and phosphor precursor. Europium(II) oxide, EuO, is a ferromagnetic semiconductor studied in solid-state physics. Halides such as europium(III) chloride, EuCl₃, and europium(II) chloride, EuCl₂, illustrate the two main oxidation states. Complexes of Eu³⁺ with organic ligands are widely used for luminescence studies.
See more information at the Europium compound page.
Europium metal presents a fire and chemical hazard because finely divided material can oxidize readily and reacts with moisture and acids to release hydrogen, H₂. Soluble europium salts are not known to have a biological role and should be treated as toxicologically incompletely characterized heavy-metal compounds. Dusts and aerosols are the main practical exposure concern in laboratories and phosphor manufacture. Natural europium is only weakly radioactive through long-lived ¹⁵¹Eu.
Europium occurs dispersed in rare-earth minerals rather than as native metal. It is typically present in monazite, bastnäsite, xenotime, and related deposits, and it follows other trivalent rare earths during weathering and sediment transport. Its ability to exist as Eu²⁺ under reducing geological conditions produces europium anomalies in rocks and minerals, which are useful tracers of magmatic and crustal processes. It has no known essential biological function.
Europium is produced as a separated rare earth from mineral concentrates, not mined as a primary element. Its separation is helped by the distinctive Eu²⁺/Eu³⁺ redox chemistry, but high purity still requires solvent extraction or ion-exchange processing. Demand has historically been tied to red phosphors for lamps and displays; changes in lighting technology and improved phosphor efficiency have reduced some consumption. Recycling from spent fluorescent lamps and display phosphors is technically possible, but collection, contamination, and changing waste streams limit broad recovery. Supply is linked to the wider rare-earth industry and to by-product recovery decisions.
Europium has been identified spectroscopically in the sun and certain stars. Seventeen isotopes are now recognized. Europium isotopes are good neutron absorbers and are being studied for use in nuclear control applications.
Europium is a rare element in the universe. Its stable isotopes are made mainly by neutron-capture nucleosynthesis, with the rapid r-process especially important. Because its spectral lines can be measured in old stars, europium is often used by astronomers as a tracer of r-process enrichment. In planetary materials it is lithophile and usually remains in oxide and silicate phases rather than metallic cores.
- Europium is one of the few lanthanides that commonly forms stable divalent compounds.
- Eu²⁺ can substitute for Ca²⁺ or Sr²⁺ in many phosphor host lattices.
- Europium anomalies help identify plagioclase fractionation in igneous rocks.
- The red emission of Eu³⁺ is extremely narrow compared with many organic dyes.
- EuO becomes ferromagnetic at low temperature.
