Abstract
In this study, the crystallization of cerium carbonate from cerium chloride solution by addition of ammonium bicarbonate was investigated. The concentration of reactants such as cerium chloride(0.5-2M) and ammonium bicarbonate, and reaction temperature($20-60^{\circ}C$) have a great effect on the crystal types of cerium carbonate such as lanthanite-type cerium carbonate[$Ce_2(CO_3)_3{\cdot}8H_2O$] and tengerite-type cerium carbonate[$Ce_2(CO_3)_3{\cdot}2.5H_2O$]. The crystallinity of cerium carbonate changed from lanthanite to tengerite as the concentration of reactants and reaction temperature increased. Transformation of cerium carbonate hydrate was transformed to cerium hydroxy carbonate depended on the drying conditions. Cerium carbonate of lanthanite and tengerite has the shape of aggregates with plate type crystal, and the size of lanthanite and tengerite crystal was $3{\mu}m$ and $5{\mu}m$, respectively. Cerium hydroxy carbonate has the shape of aggregates with needle type crystal, and the crystal size was about $7{\mu}m$.
