Description & Features

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

Key Features:

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

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

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

Chemical industry catalysts: Lithium fluoride can be used as a catalyst or catalyst carrier in the chemical industry, and is employed in certain organic synthesis reactions. More importantly, it is a key component in the preparation of petroleum catalytic cracking (FCC) catalysts, which can effectively enhance the conversion efficiency of hydrocarbons. Its nanoparticles have also been studied as lubricant additives, demonstrating excellent tribological properties.

Pond Phosphate Remover: Due to its chemical properties, lanthanum fluoride can effectively remove phosphate from water bodies through precipitation, which helps solve the problem of water eutrophication. Its nanomaterials also show potential for application in environmental remediation for removing heavy metal ions (such as mercury ions).

Batteries and Energy Materials: Due to its high ionic conductivity, lanthanum fluoride is a potential key material for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and solid electrolytes. It is also an intermediate raw material for preparing metallic lanthanum, which is used in energy storage devices such as nickel-metal hydride batteries. In molten salt reactors, it can also serve as a coolant and solvent.

Chemical synthesis intermediates: As an important source of lanthanum, lanthanum fluoride is a key precursor for synthesizing other lanthanum compounds (such as lanthanum oxide). It itself is also a fundamental raw material for preparing ZBLAN fluoride glass, rare earth crystal laser materials (such as erbium-doped and neodymium-doped laser crystals) and scintillation materials (used in medical PET/CT imaging).
