Product Description

La Fluoride (LaF₃): Medical Scintillators, Laser Crystals, IR Fibers, Specialty Alloys

La fluoride is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula LaF₃. It appears as a white powder with a density of 2.52 g/cm³, a melting point of 1,552°C, and a boiling point >2,200°C. It is insoluble in water and resistant to hydrochloric, nitric, and sulfuric acids but soluble in perchloric acid. It exhibits hygroscopic properties in air and remains relatively stable.

Applications

Scintillators for modern medical imaging technology and nuclear science
Rare-earth crystal laser materials
Fluoride glass optical fibers and rare-earth infrared glass

Packaging Specifications

Standard packaging: 50 kg/drum, 500 kg/pallet, ton bags
Sample packaging: 500 g/bag, 1 kg/bottle

Production Process

Purification of chloride salt raw materials to remove impurities, followed by carbonation via CO₂ to form carbonate
Reaction with high-purity fluorine in specialized equipment to produce fluoride
The product is washed with hot purified water, dehydrated in a vacuum furnace, and heated to remove free fluorine
Hydrogen treatment is applied to modify crystal phase and adjust refractive index

Additional Notes

Purification of chloride salt raw materials, controlling concentration and temperature before adding fluoride to precipitate LaF₃ slurry
Washing with hot purified water to remove anions, followed by vacuum dehydration
Removal of free fluorine and hydrogen treatment for crystal phase transformation
