Study of Cerium Dioxide Powder Obtained by Reverse Deposition Method
摘要
The process of manufacturing CeO2 powders by the method of reverse deposition is investigated. The CeO2 content in the resulting products reached 99.2 wt.%. The main phase was cerium dioxide with a cubic lattice. The average particle size of the powder was about 42 μm, and the specific surface area was about 38.6 m2/g. Heating of the material from 50 to 1200°C leads to a mass loss of 18%. This mass loss is accompanied by endothermic effects with peaks on the DTA curve at temperatures of 144, 280, and 374°C. Further research directions include optimization of the properties of the obtained material, in particular its morphology, and determination of prospective application areas.
