Lutetium Nitrate Lu(NO3)3.xH2O Application

Lutetium Nitrate is the important raw material for laser crystal, and also has specialized uses in ceramics, glass, phosphors, lasers. 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.

Lutetium(III) nitrate hydrate is used in ceramics, glass, phosphors and in lasers. It finds application as a catalyst in petroleum cracking and to prepare laser crystals. Further, it is used in hydrogenation, alkylation and polymerization reactions.
