General Description

Rare earth chlorides are a group of chemical compounds that contain one or more rare earth elements combined with chlorine. These elements include scandium, yttrium, and the 15 lanthanides, which are important in the production of high-tech materials such as magnets, catalysts, and phosphors. Rare earth chlorides are commonly used as raw materials for the production of various rare earth compounds and as precursors for the synthesis of other rare earth-based materials. They are also used in the purification and separation of rare earth elements from their ores and in the electronics, automotive, and energy industries. Due to their unique properties, rare earth chlorides are essential in the development and manufacturing of advanced technologies and are in high demand in the global market.
