Lanthanum Fluoride LaF3 CAS 13709-38-1 For Scintillator And Laser Glass

Lanthanum fluoride is an important inorganic compound and has a wide range of applications. In medicine and science, lanthanum fluoride is used in the preparation of scintillators, which is essential for modern medical image display technology and nuclear science. In the field of optics and optoelectronics, lanthanum fluoride is a key material for the manufacture of rare earth crystal laser materials, fluoride glass optical fiber and rare earth infrared glass, and its low refractive index characteristics also make it a high-quality raw material for lenses and Windows, helping to improve the imaging quality of optical instruments.
In addition, lanthanum fluoride also plays an important role in the chemical analysis and metallurgical industry, for the manufacture of fluoride ion selective electrodes and special alloys, as well as the electrolytic production of lanthanum metal. In terms of environmental protection, lanthanum fluoride, because of its good chemical and thermal stability, can be used as an adsorbent and catalyst carrier to effectively treat industrial wastewater and waste gas and remove harmful substances in the environment.

Name: Lanthanum fluoride, Lanthanum fluoride anhydrous

Molecular formula: LaF3

CAS: 13709-38-1

Molecular weight: 195.9

Description

Lanthanum fluoride is a white powder insoluble in water, insoluble in hydrochloric acid, nitric acid and sulfuric acid, but soluble in perchloric acid. Stable in air. Ammonium fluoride produces NH4FLaF3 insoluble double salt.The preparation method is to add hydrofluoric acid to lanthanum salt solution, or to prepare hydrated lanthanum fluoride from lanthanum hydroxide and hydrofluoric acid, and then to get lanthanum fluoride by vacuum heating.
