Preparation of dispersible cerium compounds

The invention provides a process for the preparation of a dispersible cerium compound (i.e. a cerium compound which may be dispersed in a liquid to give a colloidal dispersion (i.e. a sol)).The process involves replacing a first species of ions associated with the cerium compound by a second species...

Zusammenfassung:The invention provides a process for the preparation of a dispersible cerium compound (i.e. a cerium compound which may be dispersed in a liquid to give a colloidal dispersion (i.e. a sol)).The process involves replacing a first species of ions associated with the cerium compound by a second species of ions (e.g. hydroxyl ions) and subsequently replacing the second species of ions of the cerium compound with a third species of ions (e.g. counter-ions).The replacing of the ions may be effected, for example, by ion-exchange.Cerium (IV) oxide hydrate is an example of a cerium compound which can be made dispersible in accordance with the invention.
