Lanthanum carbonate
La2(CO3)3
Lanthanum is a key input in fluid catalytic cracking (FCC), enhancing efficiency and reducing the environmental impact of petroleum refining - particularly for high-performance jet fuels. Beyond refining, it plays an essential role in the production of nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries and supports innovation in advanced optical lenses and vision systems.
Chemical composition
Formula: La2(CO3)3.
Composition ratio: 2 lanthanum cations (La3+) to 3 carbonate anions (CO32-). The standard starting material for other lanthanum compounds.
Purity: Refined lanthanum carbonate is engineered to meet the exacting specifications required by FCC catalyst formulators at high purity (99% La/TREO).
