THERMAL INSTABILITY OF CERIUM(IV) SULPHURIC ACID SOLUTIONS

Journal Article · · Journal of Inorganic and Nuclear Chemistry (England) Merged with Inorg. Nucl. Chem. Lett. to form Polyhedron
Autoreduction of cerium(IV) sulfate in aqueous sulfuric acid occurs above 40 deg C in the presence of a glass surface that acts as a catalyst. The reaction, which is approximately zero order, stops when the products of the reaction deactivate the catalyst surface. Cerium(IV) containing solids and added Ag(I) and Hg(II) ions also catalyse the reaction. No demonstrable dependence on the bulk cerium(IV) or cerium(III) concentrations could be found. Although no clear cut dependence on temperature was observed from 40 to 100 deg C the reaction proceeds notably faster at reflux temperature. (auth)
