Gadolinium Sulfate Octahydrate Powder is a white crystalline powder containing eight crystalline waters with the chemical formula Gd₂(SO₄)₃・8H₂O, slightly soluble in water, with potential applications in materials, chemical research, and medicine.
Properties
Appearance: Gadolinium Sulfate Octahydrate is usually a white powder, crystal or lump.
Density: Relative density is 3.01 – 4.39 g/cm³ (at 25℃).
Melting point: Decomposes at around 500°C.
Solubility: Gadolinium Sulfate Octahydrate is soluble in cold water.
Composition: consists of gadolinium ions (Gd³⁺), sulphate ions (SO₄²-), and eight molecules of crystalline water, with the chemical formula Gd₂(SO₄)₃・8H₂O, and the molecular weight is 746.68.
Stability: It is relatively stable at room temperature, but may react chemically under conditions of high temperature and strong oxidising agents.
Applications
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) contrast agents: Gadolinium Sulfate Octahydrate can be used as a precursor for the production of gadolinium-based MRI contrast agents. In MRI examinations, gadolinium-based contrast agents enhance the image quality of internal organs, blood vessels and tissues, helping doctors to diagnose diseases more accurately.
Medical research: used to study the structure and dynamics of proteins, the structure of cells and tissues, etc.
Electronic ceramics: it can be used as raw material for electronic ceramics to prepare various electronic ceramic devices, such as capacitors and sensors.
Optical materials: play a role in the preparation of some optical materials, although the application in this regard is relatively small.
Chemical field:
Catalyst: it can be used as catalyst or precursor of catalyst to participate in some chemical reactions, for example, it may have a certain catalytic effect in organic synthesis reactions.
Analytical reagent: used as an analytical reagent in inorganic synthesis and chemical analysis, for detecting and analysing other substances.
Other fields: It can be used in special fields such as low temperature research.
VI HALBLEITERMATERIAL GmbH (VIMATERIAL) employs a stringent quality assurance system to ensure the reliability of our product quality. Strict quality control is implemented throughout the entire production chain, and for defective products, we strictly enforce the principle of rework and redo.
