Lutelium chloride (LuCl3) - Uses and synthesis methods
overview
lutetium chloride, LuCl3 = 281.33 colorless crystal. Relative density 3.98, melting point 905 ℃, boiling point 1477 ℃. (2) LuCl3 • 6H2O = 389.42 white crystal, it starts to lose crystal water when heated to 65 ℃, and becomes lutetium oxychloride at 360 ℃. Soluble in water. Dissolve lutetium oxide in hydrochloric acid, evaporate the solution, precipitate hydrated lutetium chloride, and heat and dehydrate in a hydrogen chloride gas stream to obtain anhydrous lutetium chloride.
Production method
Lutetium oxide is dissolved in concentrated hydrochloric acid, and its aqueous solution is evaporated and concentrated in a water bath, and heptahydrate is obtained after cooling. Then it is heated and dehydrated in a hydrogen chloride gas stream to obtain an anhydrous salt.
