chromium carbonate method: the sodium dichromate solution is added into a lead-lined or glass-lined reactor with a stirrer, sulfuric acid is slowly added under stirring for acidification, and then molasses reducing agent is added for reduction reaction to generate chromium sulfate, filtration, the reaction of chromium sulfate and soda ash to generate chromium carbonate, filtration, washing with water, and then with hydrochloric acid reaction to generate chromium trichloride. After concentration, release of cooling solidification, grinding, preparation of chromium trichloride products.
printing and dyeing industry as mordant. The chemical industry is used for the production of other chromium salts. The pigment industry is used to produce a variety of chromium-containing pigments. Organic synthesis is used in the manufacture of chromium-containing catalysts.

use | chromium trichloride (chemical formula: CrCl3) is a commonly used mordant and catalyst, easy to deliquesce, easy to sublimate, and easy to be oxidized by oxygen at high temperature. There are two kinds of anhydrous and hexahydrate. Chromium trichloride anhydrous is a strongly luminous purple crystal, almost insoluble in water. Chromium trichloride hexahydrate is a complex with three hydrated isomers: purple, light green and dark green solids. Generally bought are dark green isomers. Chromium trichloride crystals contain CrCl6 octahedral units connected into layers. There are spiral dislocations in the structure and do not contain metal-metal bonds. It is isomorphic to chromium triiodide. Anhydrous chromium trichloride is an important raw material in organometallic chemistry. It can be used as a raw material to produce many organic chromium compounds, such as diphenyl chromium, which is similar in structure to ferrocene. Chromium trichloride is also the starting material for many chromium (III) complexes. |
