Sinadarin Cerium (Ce)

An gano sinadarin "cerium" kuma aka sanya masa suna a shekarar 1803 ta hannun masanin kimiyyar Jamus Martin Heinrich Klaproth da masana kimiyyar sinadarai na Sweden Jöns Jakob Berzelius da Wilhelm Hisinger, domin girmama wani tauraron asteroid Ceres, wanda aka gano a shekarar 1801.

Cerium yana da amfani iri-iri:
(1) A matsayin ƙari a cikin gilashi,ceriumyana iya shan hasken ultraviolet da infrared, wanda hakan ke sa a yi amfani da shi sosai a cikin gilashin mota. Wannan ba wai kawai yana kare shi daga hasken ultraviolet ba ne, har ma yana rage zafin cikin motoci, ta haka yana adana kuzarin da ake amfani da shi don sanyaya iska. Tun daga shekarar 1997, dukkan gilashin mota a Japan sun haɗa da cerium oxide, kuma a shekarar 1996, Amurka ta cinye sama da tan 1,000 nacerium oxidedon gilashin mota.

(2)Ceriuma halin yanzu ana amfani da shi a cikin abubuwan da ke ƙara yawan hayakin hayakin mota, wanda hakan ke hana fitar hayakin hayakin mota zuwa sararin samaniya yadda ya kamata. A Amurka, amfani da cerium don wannan dalili ya ƙunshi kashi ɗaya bisa uku na jimillar amfani da ƙasa da ba a saba amfani da shi ba.

(3) Cerium sulfide na iya maye gurbin ƙarfe masu haɗari ga muhalli kamar gubar da cadmium a cikin launuka, waɗanda suka dace da launin filastik, da kuma a masana'antar fenti, tawada, da takarda.
