Sodium Dichromate Product Stewardship Summary February 2012 Sodium Dichromate Product Stewardship Summary February 2012 (Na2Cr2O7) Chemical Name: Sodium dichromate Chemical Category (if applicable): Inorganic chemical reagent Synonyms: Sodium bichromate; Chromic acid, disodium salt; Disodium dichromate(VI); Dichromic acid, disodium salt; Disodium dichromium heptaoxide; Sodium bichromate, anhydrous CAS Number: 10588-01-9 (anhydrate); 7789-12-0 (dihydrate) CAS Name: Sodium dichromate EC (EINECS) Number: 234-190-3 Other identifier (Please specify): GPS0064 Sodium dichromate is a strong oxidizing agent. Honeywell manufactures sodium dichromate for use by industry to treat and coat metal surfaces and for electroplating applications. Exposure can occur at either a sodium dichromate production facility or at other manufacturing, packaging or storage facilities that handle sodium dichromate. Persons involved in maintenance, sampling and testing activities, or in the loading and unloading of sodium dichromate packages are at risk of exposure, but worker exposure can be controlled with the use of proper general mechanical ventilation and personal protective equipment. Good manufacturing practices and industrial hygiene practices are also implemented to prevent or reduce exposure to sodium dichromate. Workplace exposure limits for hexavalent chromium compounds have been established for use in worksite safety programs. The general public or consumers have negligible exposure to sodium dichromate. Please see the MSDS for additional information. Sodium dichromate is an odorless solid in the form of orange-red crystals or powder. It is stable under normal conditions of use and storage. Sodium dichromate is not combustible, but it is a strong oxidizer that enhances the combustion of other substances. Avoid excess heat, combustible materials, and dust formation. Sodium dichromate reacts violently with hydrazine, anhydride, ethanol, and sulfuric acid. Sodium dichromate is not compatible with oxidizing agents (such as perchlorates, peroxides, permanganates, chlorates, nitrates, chlorine, bromine and fluorine), and combustibles. Sodium dichromate can cause irritation or burns of the skin and eyes, sores or ulcers of the skin, and/or allergic contact dermatitis. If ingested, sodium dichromate may cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, and damage to the liver and kidneys. Short-term inhalation of sodium dichromate dust or mist can cause irritation to the nose, throat and respiratory system This product stewardship summary is intended to give general information about the chemical or categories of chemicals addressed. It is not intended to provide an in-depth discussion of all health and safety information. Additional information on the chemical is available through the applicable Material Safety Data Sheet which should be consulted before use of the chemical. The product stewardship summary does not supplant or replace required regulatory and/or legal communication documents. Statements concerning use of our products are made without warranty that any such use is free of patent infringement and are not recommendations to infringe any patent. Prolonged or repeated inhalation exposures to sodium dichromate can cause sores to develop in the nose and resultant nosebleeds, and if the damage is severe, the nasal septum may perforate. Inhalation of sodium dichromate may also lead to asthmatic symptoms, such as wheezing and shortness of breath. Sodium dichromate is a known human carcinogen, affecting the respiratory tract. Sodium dichromate may cause reproductive and/or developmental toxic effects. Sodium dichromate is toxic to some aquatic organisms and may result in long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. Please contact us for more information.

  • Working with Hazardous Chemicals
    A Publication of Reliable Methods for the Preparation of Organic Compounds Working with Hazardous Chemicals The procedures in Organic Syntheses are intended for use only by persons with proper training in experimental organic chemistry. All hazardous materials should be handled using the standard procedures for work with chemicals described in references such as "Prudent Practices in the Laboratory" (The National Academies Press, Washington, D.C., 2011; the full text can be accessed free of charge at http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=12654). All chemical waste should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. For general guidelines for the management of chemical waste, see Chapter 8 of Prudent Practices. In some articles in Organic Syntheses, chemical-specific hazards are highlighted in red “Caution Notes” within a procedure. It is important to recognize that the absence of a caution note does not imply that no significant hazards are associated with the chemicals involved in that procedure. Prior to performing a reaction, a thorough risk assessment should be carried out that includes a review of the potential hazards associated with each chemical and experimental operation on the scale that is planned for the procedure. Guidelines for carrying out a risk assessment and for analyzing the hazards associated with chemicals can be found in Chapter 4 of Prudent Practices. The procedures described in Organic Syntheses are provided as published and are conducted at one's own risk. Organic Syntheses, Inc., its Editors, and its Board of Directors do not warrant or guarantee the safety of individuals using these procedures and hereby disclaim any liability for any injuries or damages claimed to have resulted from or related in any way to the procedures herein.

  • Oxidation of 9-Fluorenol to 9-Fluorenone with Sodium Hypochlorite
    CHEM 2229 EXP 1: Oxidation of 9-Fluorenol to 9-Fluorenone with Sodium Hypochlorite Objective: In this experiment you will learn how to perform an oxidation reaction by oxidizing an alcohol (9- hydroxyfluorene) to a ketone (9-fluorenone) using sodium hypochlorite in an acidic environment; how to perform TLC to monitor a reaction; how to perform an extraction to isolate a product; and, how to verify purity of a product using TLC and melting point. * Chromatography is a useful method for separating components of a mixture of compounds based on their polarity. Thin layer chromatography is especially useful for determining the number of components in a mixture, the identity of the compounds, and the purity of a compound. **Solvent Extraction is also known as Liquid–liquid extraction (LLE) or partitioning. It is a method used to separate compounds based on their relative solubilities in two different immiscible liquids: usually the polar solvent water and a non-polar organic solvent. Immiscible means that the liquids do not mix and because of this form two distinct layers. ***The melting point (MP) is a physical property of a solid also used for the purpose of identification and purity determination.

  • Chromate and the Environment: Removal and Utilization of Industrial Waste
    J. Chem. Chem. Eng. 10 (2016) 147-152 doi: 10.17265/1934-7375/2016.03.006 D DAVID PUBLISHING Chromate and the Environment: Removal and Utilization of Industrial Waste Fernando B. Mainier, Pedro Paulo B. Leite, Marcone F. Reis and Thiago Teobaldo Silva Engineering School, Federal Fluminense University(UFF), Niterói, Rio de Janeiro 24220-261, Brazil Abstract: Chromate and dichromate sodium as a function of oxidizer characteristics are used in several industrial areas; for example, in surface protection of coated parts of cadmium, zinc and aluminum (chromate coated treated), corrosion inhibitors, the treatment of leather, the manufacture of pigments, etc. However, the use of such products has been questioned due to the problems of toxicity and pollution that can be caused in the environmental. The Brazilian environmental agency has established that the concentrations of 2- chromate in water courses are less than 0.5 ppm. In order to reuse chromate (CrO4 ) from industrial effluent, laboratory experiments have been proposed based on chemical reduction or electrolytic processes, in order to transform these chromate ions in a final mix of oxides (in solid form), which can then be packed and sent to the production process of sodium chromate. The results of these experiments have become useful industrially (without regard to costs) considering the environmental reuse and the life cycle of the chemical compound. Key words: Chromate, dichromate, contamination, chemical reduction, electrolytic process. 1. Introduction waste, among others [1, 2]. In
