FAQ’S
What is Cerium carbonate?
Cerium carbonate is the salt formed by Cerium cations and Carbonate anions that appear as a white powder.
What are the uses of Cerium carbonate?
Cerium carbonate is used as a glass polishing agent, industrial & automotive catalyst; Production of phosphors for fluorescent lighting and cathode ray tubes in electronics; raw material for ceramics and electro-ceramics; as a fuel additive to improve combustion efficiency and reduce emissions; remove contaminants and impurities from industrial wastewater; and used to remove free oxygen and sulfur from steel.
How is Cerium carbonate made?
Cerium carbonate is usually produced by reacting cerium salts (such as cerium nitrate or cerium chloride) with sodium carbonate (soda ash). The reaction forms cerium carbonate as a precipitate, which can then be filtered and dried.
