Technical specifications
This is a rare element — a silvery viscous and malleable metal, which is extracted from a mixture of rare-earth elements by extraction and chromatography. It easily darkens in the air, reacts with water and burns when heated. Vigorously reacts with halogens, chalcogen, nitrogen and carbon.

Application
The alloying of structural steel with cerium significantly increases the strength. Here, its action is similar to that of lanthanum, but cerium is cheaper and more affordable than lanthanum. Addition of 1% Ce to magnesium sharply increases the strength of the latter by breaking and creep resistance. In the chemical industry, CeO 2 dioxide (melting point 2600 ° C) is used as a catalyst to accelerate the reaction between hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Sulfide CeS is a non-toxic red compound used as a coloring pigment.
Storage
In closed warehouses or under a canopy, where adequate protection against mechanical and other damages is provided.
