What is the temperature at which these oxalates typically decompose? IIRC, it was aroudn 1000 C, or calcining temperatures, but I could never find an
actual reference for the temperature of decomposition.
The reason I'm asking is that my ceria is reddish brown, which I know is nowhere near pure. So, I want to use the oxalate route (or other routes, if
applicable) to remove the iron and get the pure, white ceria. And then turn *that* to cerium fluoride. Or chloride, considering chloride would be so
much easier to get. |
