Lanthanum(III) chloride (CAS NO : 10099-58-8)

For bulk FCC use, you typically reference- Heptahydrate CAS (10025-84-0). This form is the most stable and cost-effective solid, readily soluble, and safe for large-scale handling, balancing high purity needs with economic viability.

Anhydrous form is required for moisture-sensitive reactions because it guarantees minimal water content. Because Lat ion acts as a strong Lewis acid catalyst, trace water from the Hydrate form will quickly quench or poison the reaction, leading to failure or poor yields.

Chinese REE refiners often use the Solution grade (10099-58-8 solute) or the Generic Hydrate CAS (20211-76-1). These forms are easier to handle in complex solvent extraction and refining processes, providing a lower-cost feedstock for producing final high-purity La products.

The difference is the amount of water chemically bound to the LaC13 molecule. 10099-58-8 is the LaCl molecule with zero water (anhydrous). 10025-84-0 is the Heptahydrate (7 water molecules). 20211-76-1 is for a Generic/Indefinite Hydrate (varying water content).

Primary consideration for the Solution grade is its corrosive nature (due to its acidity and chloride content). While LaCl3 itself is a low-toxicity REE salt, the solution concentration requires correct DOT classification for hazardous liquids to ensure safe transport and handling.

Researchers often prefer the Heptahydrate Crystal (10025-84-0) because it is highly stable, can be easily weighed with high precision, and has a lower surface area than powder, minimizing moisture absorption during measurement preparation. This ensures the best possible consistency for high-end material synthesis.

Lanthanum(III) chloride is an inorganic compound with the formula LaCl3, typically appearing as a white crystalline solid in anhydrous or hydrated forms, it is primarily used as a catalyst in organic synthesis, a precursor for lanthanum-based materials, and a dopant in the production of phosphors and ceramics

This compound is universally utilized in the chemical manufacturing, electronics, water treatment, materials science, and petroleum industries, particularly for fluid catalytic cracking and the production of optical devices

It is commonly used in aqueous solutions, catalytic systems, ceramic precursors, and phosphor formulations, often requiring inert atmospheres for the anhydrous grade due to its hygroscopic nature
