Terbium is a rare earth element and it belongs to the lanthanide series of the periodic table. It is positioned in the f-block and 6th period. Chemically, it is represented with the symbol Tb. The credit for discovering this chemical element goes to famous Swedish chemist Carl Gustaf Mosander who discovered it in the year 1843. It cannot be found in the form of a free element in nature. The term rare earth element does not mean that terbium is rarely found in the earth but it was quite difficult to purify this metallic element. It is found in many minerals like monazite, gadolinite, xenotime, cerite and so on. Let us find out more terbium facts related to its characteristics in the following section.

Let’s face it guys; we’re not all going to be able to pay for a Ferrari or a Porsche. Despite this may be a sad fact to have to face up to, yet its there nonetheless. At times exotic cars are out of reach for all except for those who are affluent and even they occasionally have trouble keeping up with the payments and maintenance of a Bentley or a Lotus. Sure the allure is strong; simply imagine slipping into the leather cockpit of your Lamborghini and cruising around curves at hundred miles per hour with the wind in your hair and the sun on your face.
In Praise of … Hydrogen

Hydrogen went out of fashion with the Hindenburg, the giant German airship which burst into flames in 1937. But chilled to -253C, and used as a fuel, it is suddenly all the rage once again. Britain’s first hydrogen fuel station opens today in Birmingham, and though it is only a small experimental site, powering a fleet of vehicles at the city’s university, it is a sign of things to come. More hydrogen stations are planned for London, where buses may soon run on the fuel, while the first production hydrogen cars, from BMW and Honda, have gone on sale. Morgan, the sports car maker more commonly associated with tweed, plus fours and British racing green paint, unveiled a hydrogen-powered concept car at last month’s Geneva motor show. Nor is the fuel confined to four wheels: a London theatre recently installed a small hydrogen fuel cell to power lights. Hydrogen’s great advantage is that it causes no pollution – when combined with atmospheric oxygen in a fuel cell it produces clean water and electric power. This would make it the perfect fuel for a post-carbon future were it not for the awkward fact that producing it requires large amounts of electricity, and with it lots of pollution. That has led critics to complain that it is not really a green fuel at all – and they have a point. But combined with renewable (or nuclear) electricity, hydrogen could have a future, if a way can be found to distribute it. As things stand, Britain’s hydrogen pioneers will have to head to Birmingham every time they want to fill up.

Renewable Sources of Electricity

Electrical energy can be generated by using the renewable sources such as wind, sunlight, geothermal, hydropower and biomass. These energy sources are renewable, meaning that they can be replenished naturally. In comparison to fossil fuels that are commonly utilized for generating the energy, these renewable sources are eco-friendly. Another major advantage of renewable source is that they generate clean electricity without the emission of hazardous greenhouse gases. With the raising need of electricity and issues regarding the energy crisis, renewable energy sources are the future hope to meet the demand of worldwide population. It is estimated that about 50 percent of the energy generated from the renewable source is used to produce electricity.
Biomass
Biomass refers to any organic material derived from plants and animals. Humans have been using biomass for generating energy since long time. For example, wood biomass has been used to provide heat in many regions. It is still practiced in remote areas as the major source for cooking and heating. Apart from releasing heat, biomass can also be converted into electricity, biodiesel, ethanol and methane gas. Generation of electricity from biomass is commonly implemented in manufacturing industries, in which the leftover biomass like wood waste or paper waste is burnt first to produce steam, which is then used for producing the electricity.
