CEROUS CHLORIDE, HYDRATED Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Cerium Chloride, in forms of crystalline aggregates or light yellow lump aggregates, is the important material for catalyst, glass, phosphors and polishing powders. It is also used to decolorize glass by keeping iron in its ferrous state. The ability of Cerium-doped glass to block out ultra violet light is utilized in the manufacturing of medical glassware and aerospace windows. It is also used to prevent polymers from darkening in sunlight and to suppress discoloration of television glass. It is applied to optical components to improve performance.

Chemical Properties

-4 mesh with 99.9% purity; white or a yellowish or grayish white crystal(s) [STR93] [CER91]

Uses

Cerium(III) chloride hydrate is used as an important raw material the preparation of other cerium salts such as cerium(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate. It is used in the conversion of esters to allylsilanes.
