colorless or light red crystal, relative density 4. 37. Melting point 96. Soluble in water, aqueous solution is acidic. Soluble in alcohol, acetone. Deliquescence. When heated to 156 °c, 3 crystal water were lost and decomposed at 200 °c.
nitric acid method: cerium-rich rare earth hydroxide acidic solution, hydrolysis, nitric acid dissolution, in the presence of oxalic acid or hydrogen peroxide to reduce the 4-valent cerium into 3-valent cerium, and then after crystallization, separation, preparation of cerium nitrate product.
It can be used as an additive for the steam lamp, a petrochemical catalyst, and a raw material for the preparation of cerium salt. It is used as an analytical reagent in analytical chemistry and also in the pharmaceutical industry.
A double-layer polyethylene plastic bag was wrapped in an iron drum with a net weight of 40kg per drum. The package shall be marked with "oxidant-sign. It is a secondary inorganic oxidant. Risk code: GB 5.1 class 51523. UNN0.1477; IMDG CODE page 5162, Class 5.1. Should be stored in the lower temperature, ventilation, dry warehouse. With flammable materials, acids, organic matter Isolation storage. Handle with care and wear protective equipment. Vibration, impact, friction, unbundling, container leakage and sun exposure should be avoided. For the remainder, see cerium oxide products.

Use | can be used as a catalyst for the hydrolysis of phosphate ester, used in the manufacture of flash lamp, optical glass and so on can be used as an additive for heat lamp, a petrochemical catalyst, and a raw material for preparing cerium salt. It is used as an analytical reagent in analytical chemistry and also in the pharmaceutical industry. used as an analytical reagent and catalyst used in the manufacture of a sulfur lamp, optical glass, but also used in atomic energy, the electron tube Industry for tungsten and molybdenum products (cerium tungsten electrode, lanthanum tungsten electrode), three-way catalyst, lamp gauze additive, hard alloy refractory metal and other industries. |
production method | the acidic solution of cerium-rich rare earth hydroxide is hydrolyzed and nitric acid is dissolved by nitric acid method, in the presence of oxalic acid or hydrogen peroxide, tetravalent cerium is reduced to trivalent cerium, which is then crystallized and separated to obtain a finished cerium nitrate product. Its Ce(OH)3 3HNO3 → Ce(NO3)3 3H2O |
