Lanthanum cerium citrate is a citrate mixture of lanthanum and cerium, which has potential applications in several fields due to the properties of its constituent elements and the complexity of citrate.
Chemical Properties:
- Solubility: soluble in water, can be gradually hydrolyzed in water
- Acid-alkaline: Weakly acidic because of the presence of citrate ions
- Stability: Relatively stable in dry air, but may absorb moisture in humid environments and change the crystal water content
- Complexity: It has the ability to form complexes with some metal ions
Applications:
materials science
- Ceramic materials: can be used as additives to prepare ceramic materials and improve the properties of ceramics, such as improving their hardness and toughness
- Optical materials: It may be used as a doping agent in the preparation of optical materials, which will have a certain impact on optical properties, such as improving optical uniformity
Pharmaceutical field
- Drug carrier: It can be used to prepare drug carriers, use their complexing ability to wrap drugs, and improve the stability and bioavailability of drugs
- Therapeutics: may be used as adjuvant therapeutic agents in the treatment of certain diseases, such as in some studies of metabolic diseases related to lanthanides
Agriculture
- Fertilizer additives: can be used as fertilizer additives to provide lanthanum and cerium elements for plants, promote plant growth and increase crop yield, and improve the quality of agricultural products
