Usage

Description

Chromium(III) nitrate nonahydrate is a deep blue or violet crystalline compound with the chemical formula Cr(NO3)3·9H2O. It is a source of chromium and is used in various applications due to its unique properties.

Uses

Used in Chemical Industry:
Chromium(III) nitrate nonahydrate is used as a raw material in the manufacture of alkali metal-free catalysts and in preservation. It is also used in the preparation of chrome catalysts, which are important in various chemical reactions.
Used in Textile Industry:
In the textile industry, chromium(III) nitrate nonahydrate is used in textile printing operations. It serves as a mordant, which helps to fix dyes onto fabrics, providing colorfastness and enhancing the quality of the printed textiles.
Used in Corrosion Inhibition:
Chromium(III) nitrate nonahydrate is used as a corrosion inhibitor in various applications. It helps to protect metal surfaces from corrosion, extending the lifespan of equipment and structures.
Used in Food Supplements:
Chromium(III) nitrate as a source of chromium is added to food supplements for nutritional purposes. Chromium is an essential trace element that plays a role in glucose metabolism and insulin function, contributing to overall health and well-being.

Purification Methods

The pure deep violet nonahydrate salt is best prepared freshly from pure recrystallised (3 times) chromium (VI) trioxide and pure nitric acid. A solution is prepared by dissolving 1g of CrO3 in 3mL of H2O and 2mL of pure HNO3, and carefully, with stirring (behind a screen) pure MeOH (0.5-1.0mL) is added dropwise carefully (shield) with cooling to avoid a violent reaction. A bluish colour develops as Cr(VI) is reduced to Cr(III). When this solution is diluted to 130,000ppm of the salt, analysis detected by ICP/MS gave the following trace elements (ppm in brackets): Sr (33), Na (3.5), Mo, Ni, Cu, Si and Mg (0.13 each), Se, Zn, Al (0.026 each), Ti (1.5), Fe (4.9), Co (0.07), Sn (0.065), Ba (0.013 and W (0.078). Evaporation of the methanolic solution in high vacuum over CaCl2 eventually yields pure deep violet rhombic crystals of chromium (III) nitrate nonahydrate. An aqueous solution of this salt becomes green on heating but reverts to the violet colour on cooling.
