Lutetium Metal (Lu Metal)

Email us

Lutetium was the last natural rare earth element to be discovered. It is a silvery white metal which is corrosion resistant in dry air. Lutetium metal is slightly unstable in air at standard conditions, but it easily burns at 150 °C to form lutetium oxide.

Applications of Lutetium Metal
-Used as catalysts in petroleum cracking in refineries
-Used in alkylation, hydrogenation, and polymerization applications.
-Some lutetium compounds also have specific uses.E.g.: lutetium tantalate (LuTaO4) is the densest known stable white material (density 9.81 g/cm3) and therefore is widely used in X-ray phosphors.
