Cerium chloride powder is a fine powdered solid with the chemical formula CeCl₃, usually white in colour and easily deliquescent. Its relative density is 3.97g/cm³, melting point is about 817℃, boiling point is about 1727℃, and it can dissolve in water, ethanol and other solvents. It can be used in many fields such as glass industry, catalyst, petrochemical, pharmaceutical synthesis and so on. At the same time, the substance is dangerous and can irritate eyes, respiratory system and skin.

Characteristics

Molecular weight: 246.48 g/mol

Density: 3.97 g/cm³

Melting point: 817°C (anhydrous)

Boiling point: 1727°C

Magnetism: magnetisation +2490.0・10-⁶ cm³/mol

Appearance: Anhydrous cerium chloride is usually white fine powder or easily deliquescent colourless crystals; common hydrate is colourless to yellow rhombohedral crystals with hygroscopicity; the colour may change when containing impurities.

Crystal structure: Hexagonal crystal system

Solubility: soluble in water, ethanol, acetic acid and other solvents

Deliquescence: Cerium chloride is deliquescent and easily absorbs water in air.

Complexation: In solution, Cerium Chloride is able to form complexes with a number of substances, a property that makes it important in analytical chemistry and other fields of application.

Application

Preparation of other cerium compounds: Cerium chloride is an important raw material for the preparation of other cerium compounds, such as cerium hydroxide, cerium oxide and cerium sulphide, which have a wide range of applications in the fields of materials science, electronics industry and catalysts;

Glass and ceramics manufacturing: it can be used to enhance the refractive index and corrosion resistance of glass and ceramics, improve the optical properties and durability of the products, which have applications in the fields of optical instruments, construction materials and artworks;

Dyestuff and pigment manufacturing: it plays a role in the manufacture of yellow dyes and pigments, which can be used in industries such as textiles, paints and plastics;

Catalyst field: it can be used as petroleum catalysts, automobile exhaust catalysts, etc. It can be used as a catalyst together with aluminium or magnesium salts in olefin polymerisation reactions, and also as a catalyst for Friedel-Crafts alkylation reactions, etc;

Other industrial applications: It can also be used as catalyst and reducing agent in rubber and metallurgy industries.
