Lanthanum Lump

Product Overview
Lanthanum lump is a silvery-white soft metal with high ductility and chemical reactivity. It oxidizes easily in air and can burn to form oxides and nitrides when heated. Lanthanum lump has broad applications in alloy manufacturing, catalyst production, and hydrogen storage materials. The high-purity lanthanum oxide is used in precision optical lenses, while lanthanum-nickel alloys are employed in hydrogen storage materials. Its chemical properties make it crucial in various industrial applications.
