摘要
Anhydrous lanthanide chlorides LnCl 3(Ln=Eu, Er, Lu) which are not easy to prepare in other ways were prepared by chemical vapor transport(CVT) method. Ln 2O 3 reacted with an excess of Al 2Cl 6 at 300 ℃ to produce LnCl 3. LnCl 3 reacted with Al 2Cl 6 at high temperature to form the gaseous complexes which decomposed at low temperature. LnCl 3 was then separated from other solids by controlling a proper temperature gradient. Residual Al 2Cl 6(g) was removed by the carrier of dry Cl 2 N 2 gases at 200 ℃. The yield rates are >90%, and the purity of products is >99 5%. The high purity of anhydrous lanthanide chlorides can be obtained by CVT method.
