1. Galvanization Enhancement:
Cerium Chloride (CeCl₃), or cerous chloride, is a critical component in chloride-based galvanization. Its functions include:

• Enhancing solution conductivity for efficient electrochemical processes.
• Improving solubility and maintaining the stability and uniformity of the liquid.
• Boosting corrosion resistance of the resulting coating, making it more durable.

2. Physical and Chemical Characteristics:

• Appearance: White, hygroscopic solid, meaning it absorbs moisture from the air.
• Solubility:
  • Soluble in water, ethanol, and pyridine.
  • Insoluble in ether and benzene.
• Commonly available as anhydrous white granular crystals.

These characteristics and its versatility in solution-based reactions position Cerium Chloride as a vital material in galvanization and beyond.
