Cerium nitrate hexahydrate powder is a white or off-white, easily deliquescent, soluble in water and alcohols, inorganic compound formed by cerium ions and nitrate ions with six crystalline waters.
Molecular weight: 434.12 g/mol
Molecular Formula: Ce(NO₃)₃-6H₂O
CAS No.: 10294-41-4
Appearance: Cerium nitrate hexahydrate is usually a white to yellow crystalline powder.
Density: 1.67 – 1.9 g/cm³.
Melting point: 65 °C
Boiling point: above 200 °C (decomposition)
Solubility: Cerium nitrate hexahydrate is soluble in water and ethanol and is deliquescent, easily absorbing moisture and becoming damp in the air.
Oxidation: Cerium nitrate hexahydrate is an oxidising agent.
Stability: it will decompose at high temperature, and can form explosive mixture when mixed with reducing agent, organic matter and flammable material.
Magnetism: Cerium nitrate hexahydrate is paramagnetic.
Conductivity: Cerium nitrate hexahydrate has a weak conductivity, but the ions ionised in the solution can conduct electricity.
Petrochemicals: Used as petrochemical catalysts in a variety of chemical reactions, e.g. the addition of cerium to toluene to styrene improves the production of styrene. In FCC catalysts, the addition of cerium nitrate hexahydrate to catalysts containing zeolites provides catalytic activity in the reactor and thermal stability in the regenerator.
Environmental catalysis: Can be used in catalytic reactions related to environmental protection, e.g. to help remove harmful gases in some exhaust gas treatment processes.
Vapour lamp shade additives: Used in the production of vapour lamp shades, which can improve the performance of the shades.
Cemented carbide additives: Used as additives in the manufacture of cemented carbide to improve the performance of the alloy.
Polishing Powder Ingredient: It is one of the constituents of certain polishing powders and is used in the polishing of metals, glass and other materials.
Electronic material field: It is used in the manufacture of electronic devices such as electron tubes, for example, it is used to prepare some special electronic materials or coatings.
Pharmaceutical field: It is used as an analytical reagent in analytical chemistry and also used in the pharmaceutical industry.
Agricultural field: It can be used in the preparation of rare earth fertilisers to improve the soil structure and enhance the yield and quality of crops.
Metal smelting field: In iron and steel smelting, it can be used to remove free oxygen and sulphur from steel, through the formation of stable oxysulphides, and to bind some undesired trace elements, such as lead and antimony.
VI HALBLEITERMATERIAL GmbH (VIMATERIAL) employs a stringent quality assurance system to ensure the reliability of our product quality. Strict quality control is implemented throughout the entire production chain, and for defective products, we strictly enforce the principle of rework and redo. Each batch is released only after passing detailed specification tests.
Every batch of our materials is independently tested, and, if necessary, we send samples to certified companies for testing. We provide these documents and analysis certificates with the shipment to certify that our products meet the required standards.
