LANTHANUM APPLICATIONS
Lanthanum is the first element in the rare earth or lanthanide series. It is the model for all the other trivalent rare earths. After cerium, it is the second most abundant of the rare earths.
Lanthanum-rich lanthanide compositions have been used extensively for cracking reactions in FCC catalysts, especially to manufacture low-octane fuel for heavy crude oil.
It is utilized in green phosphors based on the aluminate (La0.4Ce0.45Tb0.15)PO4.
Lanthanide zirconates are used for their catalytic and conductivity properties and lanthanum stabilized zirconia has useful electical and mechanical properties.
It is utilized in laser crystals based on the yttrium-lanthanum-fluoride (YLF) composition.
