Description
Lutetium is a lustrous, soft, ductile, silvery-white metal. It occurs in minimal amounts in most minerals containing yttrium. The pure metal has only recently been isolated and is one of the most difficult to prepare. Lutetium is relatively stable in air and reacts slowly with water..Lutetium Metal, is the hardest metal of the rare-earths, used as important additive to some specialty alloy. Stable Lutetium can be used as catalysts in petroleum cracking in refineries and can also be used in alkylation, hydrogenation, and polymerization applications. Lutetium is used as a phosphor in LED lHight bulbs. Lutetium Metal can be further processed to various shapes of ingots, pieces, wires, foils, slabs, rods, discs and powder.
