Application
Thulium(III) sulfate, a slightly green, fine crystalline powder, is primarily used in various applications within glass, ceramic, and fiber optic technologies. It serves as an essential dopant for garnet crystals in lasers, enhancing their performance. Additionally, Thulium(III) sulfate plays a crucial role as a colorant in glasses and porcelain enamel glazes. Its properties make it highly compatible with other sulfate compounds, particularly in environments with lower (acidic) pH. This solubility and reactivity also make it invaluable in dehydration reactions, further highlighting its versatility in numerous technical and industrial applications.
