History
Dysprosium got its name because of its complex production. Lecoq de Buabodran discovered that the metal in 1886 by spectroscope, and then isolated it from the oxide. After 20 years Urben was relatively clean dysprosium. A.N. Daape and F. Spending developed 2-phasic way to get dysprosium. It made possible to identify all the properties of dysprosium, as well as the resulting metal was fairly clean.
Nowadays
Dysprosium is one of the common metals among a group of lanthanide metals. Practical application of dysprosium is a very few. For example, it used some of its compounds are part of the phosphor, magnet alloys, special glasses. Specialists believe that in the future, this item could be used in radio electronics and chemical industries (as a catalyst).
