Cerium is the most abundant of the rare earth elements, making up
about 0.0046% of the Earth's crust by weight. It is found in a
number of minerals, the most important being monazite and
bastnasite. Commercial applications of cerium include catalysts,
additives to fuel to reduce emissions and to glass and enamels to
change their colour. In this book, the authors study the molecular
structure, technological applications and health effects of cerium.
Topics include the synthetic and structural features of
ceriopolyoxotungstates; cerium-based corrosion inhibitors;
tetravalent cerium chemistry; comparative toxicity of cerium and
other rare earth elements (REEs) in plant and invertebrate test
systems; cerium-based catalysts for the selective catalytic
reduction of NOx with NH3; cerium oxide and its reduction in
composite materials under hydrogen containing atmosphere; cerium as
fertiliser for soils in Russia; and the structure and reactivity of
cerium IV complexes with aliphatic organic compounds.
