Product Introduction

Scandium Chloride is a rare and valuable chemical compound that has garnered a lot of attention as a potential additive to improve the properties of various materials. As a manufacturer of Scandium Chloride, I am excited to introduce this product to merchants outside of China and showcase the many ways it can be used to improve their products and bottom line.

 

Scandium Chloride is a white, crystalline salt that is water-soluble and has a melting point of 720°C. It is composed of one atom of scandium and three atoms of chlorine, giving it the chemical formula ScCl3. Scandium is a rare earth metal that is typically found in the earth's crust in small quantities, making the production of Scandium Chloride a valuable and sought-after process.

 

The primary use for Scandium Chloride is as an additive in aluminum alloys. Small amounts of Scandium Chloride can greatly improve the mechanical properties of aluminum, such as strength, hardness, and ductility, without sacrificing its lightweight and corrosion resistance. This makes Scandium Chloride an ideal choice for manufacturers who produce high-performance alloys for aerospace, military, automotive, and sporting goods applications.

 

Another potential use for Scandium Chloride is as a catalyst in organic chemistry. The addition of Scandium Chloride to reactions can increase their efficiency, yield, and selectivity, making it a valuable tool for chemical synthesis. Additionally, Scandium Chloride can be used as a precursor to other Scandium compounds, such as Scandium oxide and Scandium nitrate, that have applications in ceramics, electronics, and catalysis.

 

In recent years, Scandium Chloride has also gained attention for its potential use in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). SOFCs are devices that convert chemical energy from a fuel into electrical energy through an electrochemical reaction. Scandium Chloride can be added to the electrolyte material of SOFCs to improve their performance and reduce their operating temperature, which can lead to lower costs and longer lifespan for these devices.

 

Overall, Scandium Chloride is a versatile and valuable chemical compound that has a wide range of potential applications. Its ability to improve the properties of materials and catalyze chemical reactions makes it a valuable tool for manufacturers across multiple industries. As a manufacturer of Scandium Chloride, I am proud to offer this high-quality product and work with merchants outside of China to incorporate it into their products and improve their competitive advantage.

 

Scandium(III) chloride hexahydrate, which is freely soluble in water is used as a source for producing metallic scandium by electrolysis. It finds use in halide lamps, optical fibers, electronic ceramics and lasers.


Specification

3N;4N


Packaging

500g/bottle or 25kg/drum, inner plastic bag and then packed in an iron drum


Production

The scandium raw material of Hunan oriental Scandium comes from the waste acid of titanium dioxide in our group, LB group, which is the world's 3rd largest manufacturer of high performance titanium dioxide pigments and 1st in Asia in terms of TiO2 pigment production capacity.

Hunan Oriental Scandium has been focused on the scandium industry for more than one decade and can supply scandium hydroxide for the preparation of scandium oxalate, scandium oxide and various compounds containing scandium.


Application

Scandium(III) Chloride Hexahydrate is an excellent water soluble crystalline Scandium source for uses compatible with chlorides. Chloride compounds can conduct electricity when fused or dissolved in water. Chloride materials can be decomposed by electrolysis to chlorine gas and the metal. They are formed through various chlorination processes whereby at least one chlorine anion (Cl-) is covalently bonded to the relevant metal or cation.
