Description & Features

Descriptive: WNX employs advanced automated production technology and uses high-quality raw materials to produce high-quality Cerium Ammonium Nitrate.

Key Features:

High Purity:Cerium Ammonium Nitrate contains no impurities from rare earth elements (such as iron, calcium, sodium), and the impurity content is low.

Good Solubility: Cerium Ammonium Nitrate can dissolve rapidly in water and strong acids.

Consistency: The strict batch management in the production of Cerium Ammonium Nitrate

ensures stable quality for industrial large-scale production.

Chemical industrial catalyst: As a powerful single-electron oxidant (Ce⁴⁺/Ce³⁺), ammonium cerium nitrate is widely used in organic synthesis. It can oxidize various functional groups, such as alcohols, phenols, ethers, and benzyl C-H bonds. It can catalyze the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds like quinolines and is used in olefin polymerization reactions. Its oxidizing ability under acidic conditions is even superior to chlorine gas (Cl₂), and the reaction process can be intuitively judged by the color change of the solution from orange-red to pale yellow.

Pond Phosphate Remover: Based on its chemical properties, ammonium cerium nitrate can theoretically remove phosphate from water by forming a precipitate through the interaction of cerium ions and phosphate ions. This can help alleviate the problem of eutrophication. However, there are relatively limited application cases and in-depth studies in large-scale water treatment.

Batteries and energy materials: Cerium ammonium nitrate can be used as a precursor to prepare cerium-based components for fuel cell-related materials and energy storage devices, and has certain potential in the development of new energy technologies.

Chemical synthetic intermediates: As an important cerium source, ammonium cerium nitrate is a commonly used starting material for synthesizing other cerium compounds (such as cerium oxide). It can also be used as an effective deprotection reagent to remove protecting groups such as p-methoxybenzyl (PMB) from alcohols.
