LUTETIUM SULFATE HYDRATE(CAS: 13473-77-3)

Lutetium Sulfate Hydrate (CAS: 13473-77-3) is a white to off-white crystalline powder. It has a molecular weight of approximately 584.5 g/mol and is slightly soluble in water. This compound is relatively stable but can react with strong acids to form hydrogen sulfates. It is not flammable and has a low reactivity with common lab reagents.

Lutetium Sulfate Hydrate (CAS: 13473-77-3) is typically synthesized by reacting lutetium oxide with sulfuric acid. The reaction can be carried out at room temperature, and the product is usually purified by recrystallization from water. The yield is generally quite high, around 90%, and the process is straightforward.

Lutetium Sulfate Hydrate (CAS: 13473-77-3) is used in various industries, including pharmaceuticals for its use as a precursor in the preparation of lutetium-based drugs, in polymers for its catalytic properties, in sensors for its luminescent properties, and in semiconductors for its electronic properties.

When handling Lutetium Sulfate Hydrate (CAS: 13473-77-3), it is important to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and safety glasses. This compound should be handled in a well-ventilated area or a fume hood to avoid inhalation. Spills should be cleaned up using appropriate spill response procedures and the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) should be consulted for detailed information.
