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

Production

Thorium(IV) hydroxide can be produced by reacting sodium hydroxide and soluble thorium salts.^[1]

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

Thorium(IV) hydroxide will break up at high temperature and produce thorium dioxide:

Th(OH)₄ → ThO₂ + 2 H₂O

At high pressure, thorium(IV) hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide, and produce thorium carbonate hemihydrate.^[2]
