Technical characteristics of holmium
Holmium is a rare element of silvery viscous and soft metal, which slowly oxidizes in air, forming Ho 2 O 3. It was discovered in 1879 by the Swiss chemist and physicist Jacques-Louis Soré using the method of spectral analysis. It is obtained by reduction of HoF 3 fluoride by calcium.

Application
Manufacture of pole pieces of superconducting magnets, production of ultrahigh magnetic fields of ultrahigh purity. It absorbs actively neutrons, therefore it is used in nuclear reactors to monitor the course of the chain reaction. Radioactive isotope: — 166 Ho is used in analytical chemistry as a radioactive indicator.
Storage
In closed warehouses or under a canopy, where adequate protection against mechanical and other damages is provided.
