Applications:

Cerium is the most abundant element of the rare earth elements. It is found in minerals sallanite, rhabdophane, hydroxylbastnasite, bastnasite, monazite, synchysite, and zircon. It is ductile and it oxidizes very quickly at room temperature. Cerium nanoparticles are graded as highly flammable and harmful. Cerium powder is applied as polishing agent in glass polishing. It is very efficient glass polishing agents. It is used for precision optical polishing because of its strong oxidizing properties. It is also used to remove ultrafine diesel particle emissions like carbon. It is used in steel manufacturing to remove unwanted trace elements such as lead and antimony and to remove free oxygen and sulfur. Cerium powder has also applications in fuel cells functions for example it is used in the electrolyte of solid oxide fuel cells.
