What products can be made from cerium chloride?
Cerium chloride can be used to make the following products:
I. Catalysts
- Petroleum catalyst: It can improve the chemical reaction efficiency in the petroleum refining process, promote the conversion of crude oil, and improve the quality of oil products.
- Automobile exhaust catalyst: It can effectively reduce the emissions of harmful substances such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons in automobile exhaust, and reduce environmental pollution.
II. Material field
- Optical materials: Cerium-containing optical materials can be used to manufacture high-performance optical lenses and optical instruments, and have good light transmittance and refractive index control performance.
- Electronic materials: It is used to manufacture cerium-containing electronic materials such as semiconductor devices and electronic components, which can improve the electrical properties of materials.
- Metallic cerium: Through further processing, metallic cerium can be prepared. Metallic cerium is applied in fields such as special alloys and the nuclear industry.
III. Other fields
- Metal corrosion inhibitor: It can react with the metal surface to form a protective film, slow down the corrosion rate of the metal and extend the service life of the metal.
