Electrochemical behaviours of Eu(III)/E(II) and Ce(IV)/Ce(III) in H3PO4-H2O media : solvation and complexation reactions

Abstract

Abstract. Many kinds of rare earth elements (REE) such as europium and cerium have been make them essential elements in many high-tech components. The electrochemical studies can be presented as an interesting indication for europium and cerium extraction from phosphoric solutions, including solvation and complexation reactions.
