Hi everybody
Im wondering if is ok to mix lanthanum and kalk together in the kalk container ....
This way while is dripping talk also drips lanthanum..
I was thinking to dilute to a small % ..
What is your opinion on this?
Please comment

I don't think that'd work. Lanthanum hydroxide appears to be insoluble in water, so I'd expect it to precipitate.

Thanks Mr bertoni
What would you suggest?

I can't think of any reasonable way to drip the two together. You might want to get a hospital drip bag or the like. I think they are cheap.
