Application And Storage Of Lanthanum Oxide Powder

Application

Lanthanum Oxide (La2O3) is a white, odourless solid. It dissolves in diluted acid but does not dissolve in water. Under ambient atmospheric conditions, it absorbs moisture and gradually converts into lanthanum hydroxide.

High-purity lanthanum oxide is used to enhance the alkaline resistance of optical glass. It increases the density, refractive index and hardness of the glass.

High-purity lanthanum oxide is utilised in the manufacture of piezoelectric and thermoelectric materials. Low-grade lanthanum oxide serves as a raw material in lanthanum metal production. It is also incorporated in ceramics and FCC catalysts.

Storage

Lanthanum oxide should be stored in a cool, ventilated warehouse. It must be kept away from fire and heat. Avoid direct and prolonged contact with skin and eyes. Packaging seals are mandatory.

Stanford Advanced Materials packages the lanthanum oxide according to standard procedures to protect it against environmental influences. Customers are advised to use the product within 3 months.
