yellow to orange crystalline solid
It is used in preparation of cerium IV oxidimetric solutions.
Ammonium cerium(IV) sulfate dihydrate is an oxidizing agent in organic synthesis and it is used as an analytical reagent, in thin-layer chromatography for the detection of anti-depressant drugs in human blood and urine samples. It is used to wet etch the Co catalyst and synthesis of carbon Nanotubes. It is used in medical and pharmaceutical industry.
Cerium Ammonium Sulfate can be used in preparation of cerium IV oxidimetric solutions,it is also applied as industrial antioxidant and etching agent for the integrated circuit, is also raw material for polishing powder, special glass and ceramics. In steels, Cerium degasifies and can help reduce Sulfides and Oxides, and it is a precipitation hardening agent in stainless steel. Cerium alloys are used in permanent magnets, and in Tungsten electrodes for gas Tungsten arc welding. It is also used in carbon-arc lighting, especially in the motion picture industry.
Ammonium cerium(IV) sulfate dehydrate is a cerium salt widely used in the volumetric analysis.
