Thorium(IV) hydroxide is an inorganic compound with a chemical formula Th(OH)4.

Production

[edit | edit source]

Thorium(IV) hydroxide can be produced by reacting alkali metal hydroxides like sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide and soluble thorium salts, such as thorium nitrate.[1][2][3]

Reactions

[edit | edit source]

New thorium(IV) hydroxide is soluble in acid but its solubility will decrease when older.[1]

At above 470 °C, thorium(IV) hydroxide will continuously decompose and produce thorium dioxide:[3]

Th(OH)4 → ThO2 + 2 H2O

Thorium(IV) hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide gas. Under ambient conditions this produces the hydrated oxide carbonate ThOCO3·xH2O, and under higher pressure this produces thorium carbonate hemihydrate (Th(CO3)2·½H2O).[4][3][5]
