CHROMIUM POTASSIUM SULFATE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Also known as chrome alum and chrome potash alum, CrK(S04)2·12H20 is dark, violet-red crystals that are efflorescent and soluble in water. Derived by reducing potassium dichromate in dilute sulfuric acid with sulfurous acid. Used in tanning(chrome-tan liquors), textile dye(mordant), photography (fixing bath)and ceramics.

Description

Chromium potassium sulfate is a crystallinecompound whose color may range from violet-red to black.Molecular weight =287.3; Freezing/Melting point =89℃;Soluble in water

Chemical Properties

Chromium potassium sulfate is a crystalline compound whose color may range from violet-red to black

Uses

Tanning (chrome-tan liquors), textile dye (mordant), photography (fixing bath), ceramics.

General Description

The higher the pH more is the chromium (III) (crystal growth suppressor) adsorbed, on the surface of potassium sulfate crystal powder which is suspended in saturated solutions.

Hazard

Toxic by ingestion.

Safety Profile

Mutation data reported. Questionable carcinogen. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of K2O. See also CHROMIUM COMPOUNDS and SULFATES.

Potential Exposure

This material is used in tanning of leather; dyeing of fabrics; manufacture of glues and gums, chromium salts; ink, photographic emulsions, and ceramics

First aid

If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove anycontact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least15 min, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts theskin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediatelywith soap and water. Seek medical attention immediately.
