Cerium(III) Chloride, Anhydrous (CeCl₃)
Colorless, anhydrous cerium(III) chloride presented in well-defined block crystals. It features a relative density of 3.92, a melting point of 848 °C, and a boiling point of 1727 °C, delivering excellent stability across a wide range of processing temperatures. The compound is freely soluble in water, acetone, and acidic solutions, offering good compatibility for diverse formulation and processing needs. Being strongly hygroscopic and deliquescent, it efficiently absorbs moisture from the air and should be stored in sealed, moisture-proof packaging.
Product Application of CERIUM(III) CHLORIDE ANHYDROUS CAS#779008-60-5
Cerium chloride is primarily used as a catalyst in petroleum-related processes and as an important raw material for the preparation of various cerium salts. It can also be used in the production of metallic cerium.
