chemical properties, health and environmental effects of dysprosium ... Dysprosium is a lustrous, very soft, silvery metal. It is stable in air at room temperature even if it is slowly oxydized by oxygen. It reacts with cold water and rapidly dissolves in acids. It forms several brightly coloured salts. ...

(Gr. dysprositos, hard to get at) Dysprosium was discovered in 1886 by Lecoq de Boisbaudran, but not isolated. Neither the oxide nor the metal was available in relatively pure form until 1950 , when the development of ion-exchange separation and metallographic reduction techniques were created by Spedding and associates.

De Boisbaudran discovered dysprosium in 1886. It can be found in the minerals monazite and bastnasite. Compounds including dysprosium are used in lasers. Its high melting point and neutron absorption capabilities may make dysprosium useful in nuclear reactors.
