Scandium is usually found with rare earth and uranium compounds. One by-product of these metals is scandium oxide (Sc2O3) and it usually traded in this form. To obtain metallic scandium, the oxide is first converted to a fluoride and then reduced using calcium.

What is scandium made from?

Scandium is an metallic element. Since it is an element is not made from anything else. Scandium can be found on earth, the sun and the stars. Pure scandium is obtained by electrolysis of molten scandium, lithium and potassium chlorides in a graphite crucible, with a wolfram wire with molten zinc as an electrode. As all other chemical elements scandium atom has a nucleus (containing protons and neutrons) and a cloud of electrons.

Is scandium hard to find?

Scandium is relatively rare in Earth's crust compared to more common elements, but it is not considered a scarce element. It is primarily found in the minerals thortveitite, euxenite, and gadolinite, and is often obtained as a byproduct of uranium processing. Recycling of scandium-containing products is also becoming more common, helping to secure its supply.
