LU1141 Lutetium Carbonate (Lu2(CO3)3)

Lutetium Carbonate (Lu2(CO3)3) Description:

Lutetium Carbonate (Lu₂(CO₃)₃), also known as Lutetium (III) Carbonate Hydrate, is one of the important lutetium compounds. Compounds of lutetium always contain the element in the oxidation state +3. Aqueous solutions of most lutetium salts are colorless and form white crystalline solids upon drying, except the iodide. Lutetium salts, such as nitrate, sulfate, and acetate are water-soluble while oxide, hydroxide, fluoride, carbonate, phosphate, and oxalate are insoluble in water. Lutetium is silvery-white and is the last element in the rare earth series. However, unlike most rare earth, Lutetium lacks a magnetic moment and is the least naturally abundant element of its series. The mineral monazite is the most common source of commercially produced Lutetium. 

Lutetium Carbonate (Lu2(CO3)3) Applications:

• Used to make laser crystal.
• Specialized use in ceramics, glass, phosphors, and lasers.
• Catalysts in petroleum cracking in refineries.
• Used in alkylation, hydrogenation, and polymerization applications.
