Lanthanum Citrate is an important lanthanide compound, which has potential application value in materials, medicine, agriculture and other fields due to its unique chemical properties.
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 toughness
- Optical materials: It may be used as a dopant in the preparation of optical materials, which has a certain impact on optical properties
