개요

Cerium is a rare earth metal and the most abundant member of the lanthanide series discovered by Jons J. Berzelius and W. von Hisinger in 1803 in Sweden. Berzelius and Hisinger discovered the new element in a rare reddish-brown mineral now known as cerite, a cerium–lanthanide silicate. Although they could not isolate the pure metal, they found that cerium had two oxidation states: trivalent state (Ce3+, cerous, usually orangered) and the tetravalent state (Ce4+, ceric, usually colorless). Cerium is the only material known to have a solid-state critical point.

화학적 성질

Elemental cerium has a face-centered cubic crystal structure at 25 °C. Cerium is the most abundant element of the rare-earth group and is 28th in ranking of the naturally occurring elements in the earth’s crust. The element is a silver-gray metal which oxidizes readily at room temperature, particularly in moist air, to form the oxide CeO2, which is of a pale yellowish-green color. Above 300 °C, the element may ignite and burn with a bright red glow. Of the nineteen isotopes of cerium, only four occur in nature, ¹³⁶Ce, ¹³⁸Ce, ¹⁴⁰Ce, and ¹⁴²Ce. The thermal neutron-absorption cross section of the element is low. The element has a low toxicity rating.

물리적 성질

Cerium is a grayish/iron-colored, very reactive metallic element that is attacked by bothacids and alkalies. Pure cerium will ignite if scratched with a knife, but it can be combinedsafely with many other elements and materials. It is relatively soft and both malleable andductile.
Its melting point is 798°C, its boiling point is 3,443°C, and its density is 6.770g/cm³.

Isotopes

There are 44 isotopes of cerium, four of which are considered stable. Ce-140accounts for most of the cerium (88.450%) found in the Earth’s crust, and Ce-138makes up just 0.251% of the element in the crust. There are two isotopes with half-liveslong enough to be considered stable: Ce-136 (0.185%), with a half-life of 0.7×10⁺¹⁴years, and Ce-142 (11.14%), with a half-life of 5×10⁺¹⁶ years. All the other isotopes areradioactive with half-lives ranging from 150 nanoseconds to 137.641 days. All are madeartificially.

Origin of Name

Named for the asteroid Ceres, which was discovered two years before the element.

출처

Cerium is the 25th most abundant element on Earth. It is also the most abundant rareearthmetal in the lanthanide series. Its major ores are monazite and bastnasite. Cerium isfound in the Earth’s crust in 46 ppm, which is about 0.0046% of the Earth’s crust. Ceriumis mixed with other elements in its ores, making it difficult to find, isolate, and identify. Itsexistence was unknown until about 1803.
Monazite sands contain most of the rare-earths. The sands of the beaches of Florida andparts of California contain monazite. Monazite is also found in South Africa, India, andBrazil. Bastnasite is found in southern California and New Mexico.

Characteristics

As a pure metal, cerium is unstable and will decompose rapidly in moist air. It also decomposesin hot water to form hydrogen. Its oxide compounds and halides are stable and have anumber of uses.
Cerium is separated from other rare-earth elements by an ion-exchange process in whichit reacts with fluoride. This compound is then reduced with calcium metal (3Ca +2CeF₃ →2Ce + 3CaF₃). Cerium can also be produced by the electrolysis of molten cerium salts. Themetal ion collects at the cathode, and the chlorine or fluorine gases of the salt compound atthe anode.

용도

The compound cerium oxide (either Ce₂O₃ or CeO₂) is used to coat the inside of ovensbecause it was discovered that food cannot stick to oven walls that are coated with ceriumoxide. Cerium compounds are used as electrodes in high-intensity lamps and film projectorsused by the motion picture industry. Cerium is also used in the manufacturing andpolishing of high-refraction lenses for cameras and telescopes and in the manufacture ofincandescent lantern mantles. It additionally acts as a chemical reagent, a misch metal, anda chemical catalyst. Cerium halides are an important component of the textile and photographicindustries, as an additive to other metals, and in automobile catalytic converters.Cerium is also used as an alloy to make special steel for jet engines, solid-state instruments,and rocket propellants.

정의

Symbol Ce. A silvery metallicelement belonging to the lanthanoids;a.n. 58; r.a.m. 140.12; r.d.6.77 (20°C); m.p. 799°C; b.p. 3426°C.It occurs in allanite, bastnasite,cerite, and monazite. Four isotopesoccur naturally: cerium–136, –138,–140, and –142; fifteen radioisotopeshave been identified. Cerium is usedin mischmetal, a rare-earth metalcontaining 25% cerium, for use inlighter flints. The oxide is used inthe glass industry. It was discoveredby Martin Klaproth (1743–1817) in1803.

생산 방법

Cerium is obtained from its ores by chemical processing and separation. The process involves separation of cerium from other rare-earth metals present in the ore. The ore is crushed, ground, and treated with acid. The extract solution is buffered to pH 3-4 and the element is precipitated selectively as Ce⁴⁺ salt. Cerium also may be separated from other metals by an ionexchange process.
Also, the metal may be obtained by high temperature reduction of cerium(III) chloride with calcium:
2CeCl₃ + 3Ca → 2Ce + 3CaCl₂

A chemical element, cerium (Ce) is the mostabundant metallic element of the rare earthgroup in the periodic table. Cerium occursmixed with other rare earths in many minerals,particularly monazite and blastnasite, and isfound among the products of the fission of uranium,thorium, plutonium.
Ceric oxide, CeO2, is the oxide usuallyobtained when cerium salts of volatile acids areheated. CeO2 is an almost white powder that isinsoluble in most acids, although it can be dissolvedin H2SO4 or other acids when a reducingagent is present. The metal is an iron-gray colorand it oxidizes readily in air, forming a graycrust of oxide. Misch metal, an alloy of cerium,is used in the manufacture of lighter flints.Cerium has the interesting property that, at verylow temperatures or when subjected to highpressures, it exhibits a face-centered cubicform, which is diamagnetic and 18% denserthan the common form.

Safety Profile

Cerium resembles aluminum in its pharmacological action as well as in its chemical properties. The insoluble salts such as the oxalates are stated to be nontoxic even in large doses. It is used to prevent vomiting in pregnancy. The average dose is from 0.05 to 0.5 g. The effect on the central nervous system of the rare-earth metals following inhalation may preclude welding operations with these materials to any large extent. Cerium is stated to produce polycythemia but is useless in the treatment of anemia owing to its toxic effects. The salts of cerium increase the blood coagulation rate. See also RARE EARTHS. A strong reducing agent. Moderate fire hazard; ignites spontaneously in air at 150-180'. Moderate explosion hazard in the form of dust when exposed to flame.
