FAQs
1. What is the difference between UltraDry™ and standard lanthanum chloride?
The UltraDry™ grade is processed to achieve an extremely low moisture content, unlike standard grades which may contain residual water. This makes it more suitable for moisture-sensitive applications where even trace humidity could affect reactions.
2. Can this product be used in non-aqueous solvents?
Yes, the anhydrous nature of this lanthanum chloride allows it to dissolve effectively in non-aqueous solvents like alcohols, ethers, and aprotic solvents without introducing water into the system.
3. What precautions should be taken during storage to maintain its anhydrous state?
Store the product in a tightly sealed container under an inert atmosphere, such as nitrogen or argon, and keep it in a desiccator to prevent exposure to ambient moisture.
4. Is this product compatible with glassware, or are there any reactivity concerns?
Lanthanum chloride is generally compatible with borosilicate glass, but prolonged contact with highly alkaline solutions may etch the glass. Use PTFE or polypropylene containers for long-term storage of solutions.
5. How does the 99.99% REO purity compare to other commercial grades?
This 99.99% REO purity indicates a significantly lower level of impurities compared to typical commercial grades (often 99.9% or lower), reducing the risk of side reactions or contamination in sensitive applications.
