Natural granite or marble stairs are very common products. They are indispensable for stair treads in home decoration, hotels, airports, subways, and high-speed railway stations. We often use some black granite and white marble to make the treads and risers of the stairs. These natural stones are sturdy and durable, and can also enhance the grade of the building. However, since there are many people walking on them, the steps and risers need to be sturdy to ensure that they will not be broken or fractured during use and to guarantee safety. Nevertheless, it is not difficult for us to find that due to unreasonable designs, the stair treads are prone to breakage, which affects both their appearance and safety.

 

To prevent the occurrence of chipping and corner-breaking phenomena on the stair treads, the following six points should be noted during the design:
(1) The depth of the grooves on the stair treads should not be greater than 2 mm.
(2) The spacing between the grooves on the stair treads should be greater than 10 mm.
(3) The overhanging length of the front end of the stair tread panel should not exceed 5 mm beyond the riser.
(4) The distance between the first groove on the stair tread and the front end of the stair tread is preferably greater than 20 mm.
(5) The number of grooves on the stair tread should not exceed five.
(6) The thickness of the stair tread stone should be greater than 20 mm.

3. What are 3 common uses of cerium?

 

Cerium has three common applications:

(1) It is utilized as a co-catalyst in automobile exhaust purification catalysts to maintain the oxygen storage function, enhance catalyst performance, and reduce the usage of precious metals. This catalyst has been widely adopted in automobiles, effectively mitigating pollution from vehicle exhaust emissions to the environment.

(2) It serves as an additive in optical glass to absorb ultraviolet and infrared rays. It finds extensive use in automotive glass, providing protection against UV rays and reducing car interior temperature, thereby saving electricity for air conditioning purposes. Since 1997, cerium oxide has been incorporated into all Japanese automotive glass and is also extensively employed in the United States.

(3) Cerium can be added as an additive to NdFeB permanent magnet materials to enhance their magnetic properties and stability. These materials are widely applied in electronics and electrical machinery such as motors and generators, improving equipment efficiency and performance.

 

4. What does cerium do to the body?

 

The effects of cerium on the body primarily involve hepatotoxicity and osteotoxicity, as well as potential impacts on the optic nervous system. Cerium and its compounds are detrimental to the human epidermis and optic nervous system, with even minimal inhalation posing a risk of disability or life-threatening conditions. Cerium oxide is toxic to the human body, causing harm to the liver and bones. In daily life, it is crucial to take proper precautions and avoid inhaling chemicals.

Specifically, cerium oxide can reduce prothrombin content rendering it inactive; inhibit thrombin generation; precipitate fibrinogen; and catalyze phosphate compound decomposition. Prolonged exposure to items with excessive rare earth content can result in hepatic and skeletal damage.

Additionally, polishing powder containing cerium oxide or other substances can directly enter the lungs through respiratory tract inhalation leading to lung deposition potentially resulting in silicosis. Although radioactive cerium has a low overall absorption rate in the body, infants have a relatively high fraction of 144Ce absorption in their gastrointestinal tracts. Radioactive cerium primarily accumulates in the liver and bones over time.

 

5. Is cerium carbonate soluble in water?

 

Cerium carbonate is insoluble in water but soluble in acidic solutions. It is a stable compound that does not change when exposed to air but turns black under ultraviolet light.

 

6.Is cerium hard or soft?

 

Cerium is a soft, silvery-white rare earth metal with high chemical reactivity and a malleable texture that can be cut with a knife.

The physical properties of cerium also support its soft nature. Cerium has a melting point of 795°C, a boiling point of 3443°C, and a density of 6.67 g/mL. Additionally, it undergoes color changes when exposed to air. These properties indicate that cerium is indeed a soft and ductile metal.

7. Can cerium oxidise water?

 

Cerium is capable of oxidizing water due to its chemical reactivity. It reacts slowly with cold water and rapidly with hot water, resulting in the formation of cerium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The rate of this reaction increases in hot water compared to cold water.

 

8. Is cerium rare?

 

Yes, cerium is considered a rare element as it constitutes approximately 0.0046% of the earth's crust, making it one of the most abundant among the rare earth elements.

 

9. Is cerium a solid liquid or gas?

 

Cerium exists as a solid at room temperature and pressure conditions. It appears as a silver-grey reactive metal that possesses ductility and is softer than iron. Although it can be transformed into liquid under heating conditions, at normal circumstances (room temperature and pressure), it remains in its solid state due to its melting point of 795°C and boiling point of 3443°C.

 

10. What does cerium look like?

 

‌‌‌Cerium exhibits the appearance of a silver-grey reactive metal belonging to the group of rare earth elements (REEs). Its chemical symbol is Ce while its atomic number is 58. It holds the distinction of being one of the most abundant REEs.Ceriu powder has high reactivity towards air causing spontaneous combustion, and also easily dissolves in acids. It serves as an excellent reducing agent primarily used for alloy production.

The physical properties include: density ranges from 6.7-6.9 depending on crystal structure; melting point stands at 799℃ while boiling point reaches3426℃. The name "cerium" originates from the English term "Ceres", which refers to an asteroid. The content percentage within Earth's crust amounts to approximately0.0046%, rendering it highly prevalent among REEs.

Ceriu mainly occurs in monazite, bastnaesite, and fission products derived from uranium-thorium plutonium. In industry, it finds wide applications such as alloy manufacturing catalyst utilization.
