1.1 Uses & Benefits
Holmium metal has an ability to absorb neutrons, so this metal is used in nuclear reactors to keep the chain reactions of elements under control.
Alloys of Holmium are used to produce Magnet.
It is used to include flints for cigarette lighters.
Its compound Cerium (Ill) Oxide is used as a catalyst; it is put inside the walls of the oven as it prevents from the buildup of cooking residues.
