Scandium chloride hexahydrate is a high-purity crystalline rare-earth chloride with a well-defined stoichiometric structure and excellent water solubility. This product is an ideal precursor for the wet chemical preparation of scandium-containing materials and is widely used in catalyst preparation, functional material synthesis, and scientific research.
We offer scandium chloride hexahydrate crystals in various particle sizes. For special crystalline forms or large packaging sizes, please contact us to discuss customized solutions.
Stable hexahydrate crystalline structure
Excellent water solubility and rapid dissolution
Integrity of crystal morphology and good flowability
Extremely low heavy metal impurity content
Catalyst Synthesis: As a homogeneous catalyst precursor, it provides highly active scandium ion centers in organic synthesis reactions, improving reaction efficiency and selectivity.
Fluorescent Material Preparation: Used for the synthesis of scandium-containing rare-earth luminescent materials; the emission wavelength and luminescence intensity of the phosphor can be controlled by adjusting the ratio.
Ceramic Additive: Used as a mineralizer and stabilizer in the sintering process of special ceramics, promoting grain growth and improving the mechanical properties of the final product.
Electrochemical Research: Used as a scandium ion source in electrolyte system research for developing novel electrochemical energy storage devices and metal electrodeposition processes.
Q1: Will the product clump or weather during long-term storage?
A1: Under recommended conditions (sealed, protected from light, cool and dry), the product is stable. If exposed to dry air for a long time, slight weathering may occur on the surface; it is recommended to repackage and seal it as soon as possible.
Q2: What precautions should be taken when preparing solutions of this product?
A2: It is recommended to use deionized water for dissolution and stir appropriately. Because the dissolution process is endothermic, the solution temperature will decrease slightly, but this will not affect the final solubility and solution stability.
Q3: Can you provide guidance on the conversion of anhydrous scandium chloride to hexahydrate?
A3: We can provide detailed heat treatment process parameters to guide you in obtaining anhydrous products through gradual heating and dehydration under a protective atmosphere, while avoiding product hydrolysis.
