Cerium chloride (CAS NO : 7790-86-5)

Cerium(III) Chloride (CeC13) is a crucial inorganic salt and the most common water-soluble compound of the rare-earth element RRe - Cerium (Ce). Cerous Chloride, a primary, highly reactive source for the trivalent cerium ion (Ce³⁺), making it indispensable in modern chemical synthesis, advanced material production, and environmental technologies. Industrially, Cerium Chloride gaining prominence as an advanced, non-toxic coagulant for nutrient removal in water treatment. Due to its hygroscopic nature, Cerium Trichloride, is commercially supplied in three distinct forms to suit various purity and application needs: Anhydrous Crystal, highly soluble Heptahydrate Crystal (standard lab grade), and Aqueous Solution. We are leading & trusted Cerium Chloride supplier & Cerium chloride heptahydrate in the United States and worldwide, offering high purity Cerium grades that meet US quality and safety standards, with reliable lead times and global supply capability.

Chemical Properties & Specifications

Applications of Cerium chloride

Environmental & Water Treatment

Phosphate removal, Wastewater treatment, Heavy metal removal, CeC13 coagulant, Cerium trichloride solution

Advanced coagulant for the highly effective phosphate removal and fluoride scavenging in municipal/industrial wastewater treatment to meet discharge compliance. Improves sludge dewatering and minimizes corrosion

Metal Precursor & Additive

Cerium metal production, Corrosion inhibitor, Hard alloy additive

Raw material for producing high-purity Cerium metal via fused-salt electrolysis. Used in protective coatings and as an additive in hard alloys

Advanced Materials & Electronics

CeO2 precursor, Phosphor production, Nanometal oxide synthesis

Precursor for synthesizing Cerium(IV) Oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles used as polishing agents and in catalysis. Essential for manufacturing phosphors to enhance the brightness and efficiency of LEDs, fluorescent lamps, and other luminescent devices

Organic Synthesis / Catalysis

Luche reduction, CeCI Lewis acid, Catalyst precursor, CeCl alkylation, Organic synthesis reagent

Functions as a mild Lewis acid catalyst for key organic transformations. Essential for the Luche reduction (selective reduction of a, B-unsaturated carbonyls) and for facilitating the alkylation of ketones, overcoming enolate formation issues
