Cerium (III) Carbonates FAQs

Q1: What is Cerium (III) Carbonate?

Cerium (III) Carbonate, with the chemical formula Ce₂(CO₃)₃, is a white to off-white powder that contains cerium in the +3 oxidation state. It is commonly used as a precursor for other cerium compounds and has applications in glass, ceramics, and catalysis.

Q2: How is Cerium (III) Carbonate produced?

Cerium (III) Carbonate is typically synthesized by reacting cerium salts, such as cerium chloride or cerium nitrate, with a carbonate source, like sodium carbonate or ammonium carbonate. The cerium carbonate precipitates and is then filtered, washed, and dried.

Q3: How should Cerium (III) Carbonate be stored?

Store Cerium (III) Carbonate in a cool, dry place, in a tightly sealed container to protect it from moisture and contaminants. Avoid storing it near acidic substances, as acids can cause it to react and release carbon dioxide.
