Lanthanum Sulfate Hydrate powder is a deliquescent, water-soluble, usually white powdery substance commonly used in lanthanide intermediates, chemical reagents, petroleum and environmental catalysts, and rare earth fertilisers. Its chemical formula is generally La₂(SO₄)₃・xH₂O (x is usually 6, 7, 8, 9, etc.).
Properties
Appearance: usually white powder
Density: about 2.82 g/cm³.
Melting point: generally 1150°C
Boiling point: Lanthanum Sulfate Hydrate is normally listed as having a boiling point of 330°C at 760mmHg (millimetres of mercury).
Solubility: Lanthanum Sulfate Hydrate has good water solubility, can dissolve quickly in water to form a solution, but at the same time, because of this property, the substance is hygroscopic, easy to deliquesce in the air, so it needs to be sealed and stored.
Thermal stability: Lanthanum Sulfate Hydrate will decompose when heated to a certain temperature, but the specific decomposition temperature will vary depending on the number of water molecules in the hydrate and other factors.
Chemical reactivity: as a lanthanum compound, it can participate in a variety of chemical reactions, such as reacting with bases to form the corresponding lanthanum alkali salts.
Applications
Intermediates of lanthanum compounds: it is an important raw material for the preparation of other lanthanum compounds, and various lanthanum compounds with specific functions can be synthesised through further chemical reactions, and these compounds have a wide range of applications in the fields of electronics, materials, catalysis and so on.
Petroleum and environmental protection catalysts: In petroleum processing, it can be used as a component of catalysts to help improve the quality and yield of petroleum products; in the field of environmental protection, it can be used as catalysts in waste gas treatment and other areas, which helps to reduce the emission of pollutants.
Ceramic materials: added to ceramic materials can improve the performance of ceramics, such as improving the strength, hardness and heat resistance of ceramics, so that ceramic materials are more suitable for high temperature, high pressure and other harsh environments.
Biochemical research: it can be used in biochemistry research, as a reagent to participate in the study of various biochemical reactions, helping scientists to understand the mechanism of chemical reactions in living organisms and the structure and function of biomolecules.
Analytical chemistry: It is used as a standard substance or analytical reagent in analytical chemistry to detect and analyse the composition and content of other substances.
Rare earth fertiliser: it can be used as one of the components of rare earth fertiliser, and the right amount of rare earth elements can promote the growth of crops, improve the yield and quality of crops, and enhance the resistance of crops to pests and diseases, and so on.
