Abstract
Reactions of cerium sulfate and europium sulfate with hydrogen have been studied. Diagrams showing the evolution of phase composition of the polycrystalline products of reaction between europium sulfate and hydrogen are constructed. The reaction of Ce2(SO4)3 with hydrogen at 600°С consecutively yields Ce2O2S and Ce2O3 phases. At 800°С the batch is >95 mol % Ce2O3. At 480-500°С, a single-phase sample of EuSO4 is prepared; at 600-1000°С, Eu2O2S is prepared; and at 1050°С, the batch is >95 mol % Eu2O2S and up to 5 mol % Eu2O3. Atomic-force microscopy shows that europium sulfate grains, which represent agglomerates of particles 10-20 μm in size, are degraded upon reaction with hydrogen into individual ovalshaped particles sized 40-60 × 130-200 nm.
