Description & Features

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

Key Features:

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

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

Consistency: The strict batch management in the production of Cerium Chloride ensures stable quality for industrial large-scale production.

Chemical industry catalysts: Cerium chloride, as an important Lewis acid catalyst, is widely used in organic synthesis reactions, such as the Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction. Moreover, it is also a key raw material for preparing other cerium-based catalysts (such as cerium trifluoromethanesulfonate).

Pond Phosphorus Removal Agent: Cerium chloride can be used in water treatment to remove phosphate from water bodies, helping to address the problem of eutrophication.

Batteries and energy materials: Cerium chloride can be used as a precursor to prepare hydrogen storage alloy materials for nickel-metal hydride batteries. It also plays an important role in the synthesis of new energy materials such as perovskite solar cells.

Chemical synthesis intermediates: Cerium chloride is the basic raw material for the production of metallic cerium and other cerium compounds (such as various cerium salts). In organic synthesis, it can be used in the alkylation reaction of ketones and the Luche reduction reaction.
