| | Sodium chromate tetrahydrate Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | Sodium chromate, including the hexahydrate, is yellow crystalline solids that can also be used in solution. Disodium dichromate (10588-01-9): | | Chemical Properties | Sodium cyanide is found as white granules, flakes or lumps. Sodium cyanide is shipped as pellets or briquettes. Odorless when dry. It absorbs water from air (is hygroscopic or deliquescent). Hydrogen cyanide gas released by sodium cyanide has a distinctive mild, bitter almond odor, but a large proportion of people cannot detect it; the odor does not provide adequate warning of hazardous concentrations. | | Chemical Properties | yellow deliquescent crystals | | Uses | Sodium chromate tetrahydrate can be used as an oxidant in organic synthesis and also as a carrier electrolyte in the capillary electrophoresis. | | Uses | Corrosion inhibitor, pigment manufactureSodium chromate tetrahydrate is used as a corrosion inhibitor, wood preservative and an auxiliary in textile industry. It serves as an oxidant, which is used to prepare carboxylic acids and ketones from primary and secondary alcohols respectively. Further, it is used as a starting material to prepare other chromium compounds and as a catalyst in organic synthesis especially pharmaceuticals and agro chemicals. | | General Description | Odorless bright yellow deliquescent crystals. Aqueous solutions are alkaline. | | Air & Water Reactions | Deliquescent. Water soluble. | | Reactivity Profile | Sodium chromate tetrahydrate is a strong oxidizing agent. Incompatible with strong acids . Contact with combustible materials may lead to a fire. Toxic chromium oxide fumes may form in fire [USCG, 1999]. | | Fire Hazard | Literature sources indicate that Sodium chromate tetrahydrate is nonflammable. | | Potential Exposure | Used to make dyes, inks, pigments, and other chromates; in leather tanning, a corrosion inhibitor in circulating water systems; metal treatment; a drilling mud additive; chemical intermediate for chromium catalysts; colorimetry, oxidizing agent; bleaching agent; an algicide, fungicide, insecticide; in wood preservation. | | Shipping | UN3087 Oxidizing solid, toxic, n.o.s., Hazard Class: 5.1; Labels: 5.1-Oxidizer, 6.1-Poisonous materials, Technical Name Required. UN3085 Oxidizing solid, corrosive, n.o.s., Hazard Class: 5.1; Labels: 5.1-Oxidizer, 8-Corrosive material, Technical Name Required. | | Purification Methods | Crystallise the chromate from hot water (0.8mL/g). It is deliquescent. | | Incompatibilities | Sodium cyanide decomposes on contact with acids, acid salts, water, moisture, alcohols, and carbon dioxide, releasing highly toxic and flammable hydrogen cyanide gas. Aqueous solution is a strong base; it reacts violently with acid and is corrosive. Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides. Absorbs moisture from the air forming a corrosive syrup. Corrosive to active metals, such as aluminum, copper, and zinc. Under acid conditions, sarin hydrolyzes to form hydrofluoric acid. | | Waste Disposal | Consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal practices. Generators of waste containing this contaminant (≥100 kg/mo) must conform to EPA regulations governing storage, transportation, treatment, and waste disposal. In accordance with 40CFR165, follow recommendations for the disposal of pesticides and pesticide containers. Must be disposed properly by following package label directions or by contacting your local or federal environmental control agency, or by contacting your regional EPA office. Add strong alkaline hypochlorite and react for 24 hours. Then flush to sewer with large volumes of water. |
