What is lanthanum(III) oxide and what is its use?

Overview of lanthanum oxide La2O3 powder

Lanthanum oxide is an inorganic compound with a chemical formula of La2O3, which is a white powder. Soluble in acid, ethanol, ammonium chloride, insoluble in water and ketones. Rare earth lanthanum oxide is widely used and plays an important role in the fields of glass, ceramics, and electronics.

Slightly soluble in water, easily soluble in acid to generate corresponding salts. Exposure to the air easily absorbs carbon dioxide and water, and gradually turns into lanthanum carbonate. The burning lanthanum oxide combines with hydration to give off a lot of heat.

Application of lanthanum oxide La2O3 powder

Lanthanum oxide La2O3 is mainly used to manufacture precision optical glass and optical fiber. It is also used in the electronics industry as ceramic capacitors and piezoelectric ceramic dopants. It is also used as a raw material for lanthanum boride and a catalyst for petroleum separation and refining.

Lanthanum oxide La2O3 is mainly used in the manufacture of special alloy precision optical glass, high-refractive optical fiber board, suitable for cameras, cameras, microscope lenses and advanced optical instrument prisms. It is also used in the manufacture of ceramic capacitors, piezoelectric ceramic dopants and X-ray luminescent materials, such as lanthanum bromide powder. It is obtained by extracting lanthanum phosphate ore or burning lanthanum carbonate or lanthanum nitrate. It can also be obtained by thermal decomposition of lanthanum oxalate. Used as a catalyst for various reactions, such as catalyzing the oxidation reaction of carbon monoxide when doped with cadmium oxide, and catalyzing the hydrogenation of carbon monoxide to methane when doped with palladium. Lanthanum oxide impregnated with lithium oxide or zirconium oxide (1%) can be used to make ferrite magnets. It is a very effective selective catalyst for the oxidative coupling of methane to ethane and ethylene. Used to improve the temperature dependence and dielectric properties of barium titanate (BaTiO3) and strontium titanate (SrTiO3) ferroelectrics, and to manufacture fiber optics and optical glass.
