Lanthanum Oxide Specifications

Lanthanum oxide (La2O3) compound is the oxide form compound of the lanthanide metal lanthanum. Lanthanum oxide is also known as lanthana and lanthanum sesquioxide. Lanthanum oxide has a white color. Lanthanum oxide is not soluble in water, but readily dissolves in dilute mineral acids. The hexagonal crystal structure is the structure in which lanthanum oxide exists at low temperature. But at high temperatures lanthanum oxide may have a cubic crystal structure. Lanthanum oxide starts to melt at temperature of 2315oC, and lanthanum oxide has a boiling point at a high temperature of 4200oC. Due to its ability to absorb carbon dioxide and moisture, lanthanum oxide becomes lanthanum carbonate and lanthanum hydroxide, respectively, in the presence of air. Lanthanum oxide has a variety of applications.
Lanthanum oxide is used in the manufacturing of optical glasses to increases density, refractive index and hardness of glasses
Lanthanum oxide is used in electrode materials and in light emitting material
Lanthanum oxide is used in hydrogen storage materials and in laser materials
Lanthanum oxide is used in piezoelectric materials to increase product piezoelectric coefficients and improve product energy conversion efficiency
Lanthanum oxide is used as precursor to LAMOX fast ion conductors and superconductors
Lanthanum oxide is used to prepare organic product catalyst and automobile exhaust catalyst
Lanthanum oxide is used in X-ray imaging intensifying screens and in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Lanthanum oxide is used for magnetic data storage as a magnetic nanoparticle

Improving Dialysis Process with Graphene

Researchers from Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Departments of MIT recently showed that graphene is a powerful material candidate for use in the dialysis systems (such as hemodialysis machines in medical institutes for filtering human blood). In order to prepare graphene as a dialysis material, researchers used a procedure opposite to the general treatments that nanotechnology people use. Dialysis is a process of filtering different solutions such as human blood by a membrane in order to remove waste molecules, drugs, chemical residues from the solution. In some cases, the process can be used for purification of chemicals or isolation of different molecules for medical diagnosis. It is an essential process for scientists especially in the medical operations.

Graphene Tyres and Graphene Brake Pads

Could Graphene Use Create A Distruptive Technology In Tyre Sector? Almost every day, we see new applications emerging from graphene. The fact is certain; graphene is a disruptive technology that holds huge potential for commercialization. Graphene has abilities to open new markets and even replace existing materials or material technologies. A brand new application of graphene came out which is producing graphene tyres and brake pads. https://www.canadacarbon.com/brake-linings-gasket... In 2016 GraphChina (Graphene Innovation Conference); Sentury and Huagao launched their first electrostatic conducting graphene tyre on September 22nd. 2-3 weeks before the conference Sentury and Huagao officially announced their cooperation on the product. During the press conference, Sentury’s engineers (which is branded with the Landsail moniker), revealed that the latest test data shows their graphene-enhanced tyre offers; 1.8 meters shorter stopping distances (6 % improvement on conv...
