Lanthanum metal
	
	
		  Lanthanum is a silver-white metal, soft and easy to cut. The fresh 
		section is silver-gray and is easily oxidized in the air. There are 
		three crystal types, α type, hexagonal crystal system, β type, 
		face-centered cubic stacking, stable existence at 350℃, density = 
		6.19g/cm^3; γ type, stable existence at >868°C, density = 5.98g/cm^3. 
		Avoid contact with acids, oxides, halogens, and sulfur. Contact with 
		heat, open flames, oxidizers and other substances may cause burning 
		hazards. Generally sealed in solid paraffin or immersed in kerosene.
		
		The main use of lanthanum
		1. The metal lanthanum shell is used to produce nickel-metal hydride 
		batteries, which is one of the most important applications of lanthanum.
		2. Mainly used to manufacture special alloy precision optical glass, 
		high-refraction optical fiber board, suitable for making cameras, 
		cameras, microscope lenses and advanced optical instrument prisms, etc. 
		Also used to make ceramic capacitors, piezoelectric ceramic dopants and 
		X-ray luminescent materials lanthanum bromide powder and so on. It is 
		obtained by extraction from lanthanum phosphate ore or by burning 
		lanthanum carbonate or lanthanum nitrate. It can also be prepared by 
		thermal decomposition of lanthanum oxalate.
		3. Used as a catalyst for various reactions, such as catalyzing the 
		oxidation reaction of carbon monoxide when doped with cadmium oxide, and 
		catalyzing the hydrogenation of carbon monoxide to methane when doped 
		with palladium. Lanthanum oxide impregnated with lithium oxide or 
		zirconium oxide (1%) can be used to make ferrite magnets. It is a very 
		effective selective catalyst for the oxidative coupling of methane to 
		ethane and ethylene. Used to improve the temperature dependence and 
		dielectric properties of barium titanate (BaTiO) and strontium titanate 
		(SrTiO) ferroelectrics, and to manufacture fiber optics and optical 
		glass.
		4. Lanthanum 138 is radioactive with a half-life of 1.1×10^1^1 years. It 
		has been tried to treat cancer.
