Description & Features

Descriptive: WNX employs advanced automated production technology and uses high-quality raw materials to produce high-quality Anhydrous Lanthanum Chloride.

Key Features:

High Purity: Anhydrous Lanthanum Chloride contains no impurities from rare earth elements (such as iron, calcium, sodium), and the impurity content is low.

Good Solubility: Anhydrous Lanthanum Chloride can dissolve rapidly in water and strong acids.

Consistency: The strict batch management in the production of Anhydrous Lanthanum Chloride ensures stable quality for industrial large-scale production.

Chemical industrial catalyst: In the petrochemical industry, anhydrous lanthanum chloride is a key raw material for preparing fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalysts, which can effectively enhance the efficiency of converting heavy crude oil into high-octane gasoline and diesel. It can also serve as a mild Lewis acid catalyst for organic synthesis reactions, such as catalyzing aldehydes to form acetaldehydes. Additionally, it is used in the catalytic process of oxidizing methane to chloroform.

Pond Phosphorus Remover: Due to its chemical properties, lanthanum chloride can effectively remove phosphate from water through precipitation in water treatment, which helps solve the problem of water eutrophication.

Batteries and energy materials: Anhydrous lanthanum chloride is an important precursor for preparing metallic lanthanum, and metallic lanthanum is a key raw material for hydrogen storage alloys, which are widely used in energy storage fields such as nickel-metal hydride batteries. It is also a basic raw material for synthesizing other lanthanide functional materials.

Chemical synthesis intermediates: As a key starting material, anhydrous lanthanum chloride is widely used in the synthesis of other lanthanum compounds, such as lanthanum oxide, various lanthanum salts, etc. In biochemistry research, it is also used to block calcium ion channels. After doping with cerium (Ce), it can be used as a scintillator material for radiation detection.
