As can dry lanthanum chloride?

Alex Zorach  Follow

Dear Ana,
The preparation of anhydrous Lanthanum chloride comprising non vacuum drying of Lanthanum chloride heptahydrate which comprises heating of Lanthanum chloride heptahydrate in hydrogen chloride atmosphere at 200-3000C. Prior art the preparation of anhydrous Cerium chloride comprising vacuum drying of Cerium chloride heptahydrate for 2 hrs at 60°C followed by for 2 hrs at 80°C and continuing for 12 hrs at 140°C results in the formation of lump, therefore, inefficient at industrial scale.

It prepared by heating a mixture of lanthanum(III) oxide and ammonium chloride at 200-250 °C: see the following reference.

May I know Dr Ana, which procedure you followed to obtain anhydrous Lanthanum chloride from hydrated one?

I think it will be more logical if you prepare the solution without any drying process.
Because in either cases (drying or not) you need to titrate the solution.
Lanthanum solution can be easily titrated with standard EDTA at pH=5 (acetate/acetic acid buffer) and xylenol orange as indicator. 
One method to prepare dry lanthanum chloride require the reaction of the oxide with ammonium chloride under hugh vacuum at high temperature (> 400 - 500 °C)
