Product Detail

1. Product Overview

Erbium Chloride Hexahydrate, also known as Erbium(III) Chloride Hexahydrate, is an essential water-soluble rare earth crystalline compound with the chemical formula ErCl₃·6H₂O and CAS number 10025-75-9. It appears as pink or rose-red transparent crystals with high crystallinity and ultra-low impurity content. Featuring unique optical and magnetic properties, erbium chloride hexahydrate is a core raw material for optical communication and laser device manufacturing. It is commercially available in 99.9% (3N), 99.99% (4N) and 99.999% (5N) purity grades, meeting strict standards for industrial production, optoelectronic material research and high-end laboratory applications.

2. Physical and Chemical Properties

Erbium Chloride Hexahydrate possesses stable and excellent physical and chemical characteristics under ambient conditions. It is highly soluble in water and polar organic solvents, forming clear and uniform erbium-containing aqueous solutions without precipitation or turbidity. The crystal structure contains stable bound water molecules. Upon continuous heating, it undergoes gradual dehydration, and complete high-temperature calcination converts it into high-purity erbium oxide (Er₂O₃).

This product is hygroscopic and prone to deliquescence in high-humidity environments. It maintains stable chemical activity in conventional solution systems without hydrolysis deterioration or side reactions. Benefiting from the distinctive photoelectric response of erbium ions, it delivers outstanding performance in optical doping and functional material modification, ensuring high stability and controllability in wet chemical synthesis processes.

3. Production Process

Industrial high-purity Erbium Chloride Hexahydrate is manufactured via mature acid dissolution, purification and recrystallization techniques. High-grade erbium oxide or erbium hydroxide raw materials react with dilute hydrochloric acid under constant temperature and precise pH control. The solution undergoes multi-stage impurity filtration, concentration adjustment, low-temperature evaporation and directional recrystallization to produce uniform, high-purity hexagonal crystal products. The whole production process strictly controls heavy metals, sulfate and non-rare earth impurities, ensuring consistent batch quality, stable solubility and excellent crystal morphology.

4. Core Industrial Applications

Optical Fiber & Laser Material Precursor Erbium Chloride Hexahydrate is a key doping material for erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFA) and erbium-doped fiber lasers. Erbium ions effectively amplify optical signals, improve transmission efficiency and extend signal transmission distance, making it indispensable in modern optical communication systems and precision laser equipment.

Precursor for High-Purity Erbium Oxide Through drying and high-temperature calcination, the product can be fully converted into high-purity erbium oxide. The derived Er₂O₃ is widely used in special optical glass, ceramic colorants and high-performance dielectric materials for optoelectronic devices.

Rare Earth Catalyst Raw Material It serves as an efficient precursor for preparing erbium-based composite catalysts. Uniform erbium ion doping optimizes catalyst surface activity and thermal stability, improving reaction efficiency in organic synthesis, petrochemical processing and industrial waste gas treatment.

Laboratory Reagent & Advanced Functional Material High-purity erbium chloride hexahydrate is widely used in rare earth chemical research, luminescent material synthesis, magnetic material preparation and special ceramic modification, supporting high-end material manufacturing and scientific innovation.

5. Storage and Handling

Erbium Chloride Hexahydrate is highly hygroscopic and deliquescent. It must be stored in fully sealed containers in a cool, dry and well-ventilated warehouse. Avoid exposure to humid air, high temperature and direct sunlight to prevent crystal deliquescence, agglomeration and performance attenuation.

During handling, wear dust-proof masks, safety goggles and chemical-resistant gloves to prevent dust inhalation and direct skin and eye contact. All operations must be conducted in a ventilated environment. Waste residues should be disposed of in compliance with local environmental protection regulations.

6. Grades and Packaging
