Lanthanum: historical information![]() Carl Gustav Mosander recognized the element lanthanum in impure cerium nitrate in 1839. His extraction resulted in the oxide lanthana (La2O3). A number of other lanthanides (rare-earths) were later discovered by identification of the impurities in yttrium and cerium compounds.
