It is the ideal host for x-ray phosphors because it produces the densest known white material, Lutetium Tantalate(LuTaO4). Stable Lutetium can be used as catalysts in petroleum cracking in refineries and can also be used in alkylation, hydrogenation, and polymerization applications. It can also be used as an ideal host for X-ray phosphors. Applications: Lutetium Nitrate is the important raw materials for laser crystal, and also have specialized uses in ceramics, glass, phosphors, lasers. Solubility: Insoluble in water, moderately soluble in strong mineral acids Molecular Formula: Lu (NO3)3.xH2O Room temperature, sealed, dryAlfa Chemistry Materials product group: Metal Manufacturer data sheet |
