Historia
French chemist Paul Émile Lecoq de Boisbaudran, while working with holmium oxide, separated dysprosium oxide from it in Paris in 1886.

His procedure for isolating the dysprosium involved dissolving dysprosium oxide in acid, then adding ammonia to precipitate the hydroxide.

It was not isolated in pure form until the development of ion exchange techniques in the 1950s.

Användningsområden
Dysprosium oxide-nickel cermets are used in neutron-absorbing control rods in nuclear reactors.

Dysprosium is used in data storage applications such as compact discs and hard discs.

It is also used in dosimeters for measuring ionizing radiation.

Dysprosium iodide and dysprosium bromide are used in high intensity metal-halide lamps.
Dysprosium is considered to be moderately toxic
