Cerium carbonate is an important cerium salt, which has potential application value in materials science, environmental protection, chemical industry and other fields due to its unique chemical properties.
Chemical Properties:
- Solubility: Soluble in water, its aqueous solution is acidic
- Thermal stability: Crystal water is lost when heated, and then decomposes at a higher temperature of about 350°C
- Acidic and alkaline: Acidic because of the presence of carbonate ions
- Complexity: It has the ability to form complexes with some metal ions
Fields of application
Materials science:
- Ceramic materials: can be used to prepare high-performance ceramic products and improve the physical and chemical properties of ceramics.
- Optical materials: It may be used as a dopant in the preparation of optical materials, which has a certain impact on optical properties.
Environmental protection field:
- Wastewater treatment: With its chemical properties, it can be used to treat certain heavy metal ions and organic pollutants in wastewater.
Chemical industry:
- Catalyst: It can be used as a catalyst or catalyst carrier to participate in a variety of chemical reactions to improve the reaction rate and selectivity.
- Glass additives: used in glass manufacturing to improve the optical, chemical, and thermal properties of glass.
