1.1 Uses & Benefits
Thorium metal is used as an allying agent for Magnesium, It imparts greater strength and resistance to temperature.
compound of this metal Thorium oxide is used as an industrial catalyst.
It has no commercial uses, but its alloys are in high demand. Lanthanum and Nickel alloy is used for the hydrogen gas storage.
The best-known use for mischmetal alloy of Lanthanum is; as a ‘flints’ for cigarette lighters.
