General description
Ammonium dichromate is a hexavalent chromium compound with a high oxidation potential. Hexavalent chromium is potent carcinogen and an environmental pollutant.
Application
Ammonium dichromate may be used in the following processes:
- Oxidation of alcohols in the presence of Mg(HSO4)2 (magnesium hydrogen sulfate) and wet SiO2 (silicon dixide).
- Preparation of Cr2O3/Al2O3 (chromium (III) oxide/aluminium oxide) catalysts.
- Oxidative coupling of thiols.
- Preparation of mesoporous molecular sieves.
- Preparation of polypyrrole (PPy).
- Preparation of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) interconnect.
