摘要

Infrared (IR) spectrum, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) were used to study and characterize the coordination mechanisms, products and morphology of organic carboxylic acid during homogeneous precipitation in the system of Ce(NO3)(2)center dot 6H(2)O and urea solution. The results showed that monocarboxylic acid stearic acid played a role of surfactant, and the product was still orthorhombic Ce2O(CO3)(2)center dot H2O with a high crystallization degree. In turn, duality-carboxylic acid tartaric acid and tri-carboxylic acid citric acid were combined with Ce3+ to form chelate citric acid and cerium tartaric acid, respectively. The results were caused by different mechanisms of reaction in the solution.
