• Application: Lanthanum(III) chloride hydrate is the very important raw materials for FCC catalyst and water treatment. Lanthanum-rich Lanthanide compounds have been used extensively for cracking reactions in FCC catalysts, especially to manufacture high-octane gasoline from heavy crude oil. A possible application involves the precipitation Phosphate from solutions. Lanthanum(III) chloride hydrate is also used in biochemical research to block the activity of divalent cation channels, mainly Calcium channels. Doped with Cerium, it is used as a scintillator material.
