Lanthanum oxide (La2O3): ACTIVE
Applications
UsesLanthanum oxide is used to make high-quality glass, ceramics, carbon-arc electrodes, and fluorescent lamps. Lanthanum (III) oxide was used as an analytical standard in inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) for chemical characterization of ancient pottery.
UsesLanthanum(III) oxide is used as a precursor to LAMOX fast ion conductors and superconductors. It is also used in the manufacture of optical glasses, piezoelectric and thermoelectric material. It is also useful for X-ray imaging intensifying screens, phosphors as well as dielectric and conductive ceramics. In addition, it is used as a catalyst to effect certain organic transformations. It is one of the active ingredients and finds application in thermoelectric and piezoelectric materials.
General DescriptionLanthanum (III) oxide is an alkaline earth oxide, and is a diamagnetic, isostructural analog of neodymium oxide. It is also an efficient recyclable catalyst, and can be used in coupling various aryl halides with aromatic/alkyl thiols.
Preparation methods
PreparationLanthanum oxide can be produced by direct combustion of lanthanum in oxygen or air. The oxide also may be prepared by decomposition of an oxo salt of lanthanum, such as nitrate, sulfate, carbonate, hydroxide or oxalate. La(CO3)3•8H2O → La2O3 + 3CO2 + 8H2O 2La2(C2O4)3•9H2O + 3O2 → 2La2O3 + 12CO2 + 18H2O
