Abstract: Provided is a method for electrowinning neodymium compound. The method includes providing a fluoride-based electrolyte through an opening defined in an electrolytic bath including a cathode and an anode. The method includes providing granules, each including a neodymium compound and having at least one cavity defined therein, through the opening defined in the electrolytic bath. The method includes dissolving at least a portion of the granule in a molten salt of the fluoride-based electrolyte. The method also includes reducing neodymium at the cathode. The cavity is defined inside or on the surface of the granule, and the apparent density of the granules is lower than the density of the molten salt. The method proposed has an improved process compared to those of the related art.

Abstract: A nanoparticle separating apparatus that can separate nanoparticles from impurities in a nanoparticle dispersion, and a nanoparticle separating method using the same are disclosed. The nanoparticle separating apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes: a body portion having an inlet hole into which a dispersion flows formed in one side thereof, an outlet hole through which the waste solution from which nanoparticles are separated flows formed in the other side, and a hollow channel formed between the inlet hole o and the outlet hole; a first electrode and a second electrode, each having a porous structure where a plurality of pores are formed, and at least one pair of the first and second electrodes being provided in the channel; and a power supply applying voltages, each having a different polarity, to the first electrode or to the second electrode.

Abstract: A quantum dot stabilized by a halogen salt includes a compound of Group 13 and Group 15, a compound of Group 12 and Group 16 or a compound of Group 14 and Group 16. The quantum dot has a crystalline structure and at least a portion of a surface of the quantum dot is combined with a halogen salt. Thus, the quantum dot has a high stability in an air.
