What is Rare Earth Nitrate under CAS 68412-17-9?

It is a mixed rare earth nitrate composition rather than a single separated lanthanide salt. The exact rare earth distribution should be confirmed per batch, but the material is commonly rich in light lanthanides such as lanthanum and cerium.

What should be confirmed before ordering?

Confirm total rare earth oxide content, individual rare earth distribution, nitrate content, pH, water solubility and impurity levels. Because the rare earth composition can vary, request the batch analysis showing the actual element profile for your target application.

How should Rare Earth Nitrate be stored and handled?

Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry area away from combustible materials, reducing agents and strong bases. Use chemical-handling PPE and follow the safety information for spill, disposal and first-aid procedures.

Why is the rare earth element distribution important?

Because CAS 68412-17-9 is a mixed rare earth nitrate rather than a separated lanthanide compound, the relative amounts of lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium and other elements affect catalyst activity, optical properties and ceramic color. The batch-specific element profile should match the intended application.

Product Description

Rare Earth Nitrate, CAS 68412-17-9, is a mixed rare earth nitrate composition (nitric acid, rare earth salts; a lanthanide nitrate mixture) rather than a single separated lanthanide salt; the EC/EINECS number is 270-173-7.

Synonyms: Nitric acid rare earth salts; Mixed rare earth nitrate; Lanthanide nitrate mixture; RE nitrate.

CAS: 68412-17-9.

It is a water-soluble inorganic mixture with no single molecular formula; the composition is described by the individual rare earth element distribution.

EC number: 270-173-7.

It is normally supplied as colorless crystals or powder that are soluble in water, with an industrial grade of about 99%.

It is used as a precursor for catalysts, phosphors and luminescent materials, and in glass, ceramics and pigments.

It can also serve as a source of rare earth oxides after thermal decomposition.

It is commonly prepared by dissolving rare earth oxides or carbonates in nitric acid.

Confirm total rare earth oxide content, individual rare earth distribution, nitrate content, pH, water solubility and impurity levels.

The material is commonly rich in light lanthanides such as lanthanum and cerium; the batch-specific element profile should match the intended application.

It is an oxidizing material that can intensify combustion; handle with protective gloves, glasses and a dust mask.

Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry area away from combustible materials, reducing agents and strong bases.
