Erbium chloride hexahydrate, an important colourant in glass manufacturing and porcelain enamel glazes,
And also as main raw material for producing high purity Erbium Oxide. High purity Erbium Nitrate is applied as dopant in making optical fibre and amplifier.
It is particularly useful as an amplifier for fiber optic data transfer.
Material Science: It is used to produce erbium-doped materials, which are very important in optical fiber and laser technology. Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFA) have a wide range of applications in telecommunications.
Catalysis: Erbium chloride can be used as a catalyst for various chemical reactions, especially organic synthesis.
Research: It is used in a variety of research applications, including research in solid-state chemistry and materials science.
Glass and Ceramics: Erbium compounds are used to impart color to glass and ceramics, making them appear pink.
Medical Applications: Erbium is used in certain medical lasers, particularly in dermatology and cosmetic surgery, for skin resurfacing and other procedures.
Store in ventilated and cool warehouse.
To properly store erbium chloride hexahydrate (ErCl₃·6H₂O), follow these guidelines:
Container: Store it in a sealed container to prevent moisture absorption as it is a hygroscopic material.
Environment: Store containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. A desiccator may be used for added moisture protection.
Label: Clearly label containers with the chemical name, concentration, and any relevant hazard information.
Safety Precautions: Follow proper safety protocols, including wearing gloves and goggles when handling the compound, and ensure it is stored away from incompatible materials.
It is soluble in water and acid, and slightly soluble in ethanol.
Anhydrous salt can be obtained by heating in a stream of hydrogen chloride.
The latter are light red or light purple flake crystals, slightly hygroscopic.
It is less soluble in water than its hexahydrate salt.
When the aqueous solution is heated, it gradually becomes opaque.
The hydrate is heated and dehydrated in the air to become a mixture of erbium chloride and erbium oxychloride.
Packaging: Use appropriate packaging that is moisture-proof and prevents any possible spillage. Make sure the container is tightly sealed to prevent leakage.
Label: Clearly label the packaging with the chemical name, hazard symbol and any relevant safety information. This includes indicating that it is a chemical and any specific hazards associated with it.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Ensure personnel involved in transport wear appropriate PPE, such as gloves, goggles, and lab coats, to minimize exposure.
Temperature Control: If necessary, store materials in a temperature-controlled environment, as extreme temperatures can affect the stability of the compound.
Avoid incompatible materials: Ensure that Erbium Chloride Hexahydrate is not transported together with incompatible materials that may react with it.
Regulatory Compliance: Comply with all local, national, and international regulations regarding the transportation of chemical substances, including any special requirements for hazardous materials.
Emergency Procedures: Develop emergency procedures to deal with spills or accidents during transportation. This includes preparing spill kits and first aid supplies.
