Chromium Trioxide

Chromium Trioxide is a highly insoluble thermally stable Chromium source suitable for glass, optic and ceramic applications. Oxide compounds are not conductive to electricity. However, certain perovskite structured oxides are electronically conductive finding application in the cathode of solid oxide fuel cells and oxygen generation systems. They are compounds containing at least one oxygen anion and one metallic cation. They are typically insoluble in aqueous solutions (water) and extremely stable making them useful in ceramic structures as simple as producing clay bowls to advanced electronics and in light weight structural components in aerospace and electrochemical applications such as fuel cells in which they exhibit ionic conductivity. Metal oxide compounds are basic anhydrides and can therefore react with acids and with strong reducing agents in redox reactions. Chromium Trioxide is also available in pellets, pieces, powder, sputtering targets, tablets, and nanopowder (from American Elements' nanoscale production facilities)

High purity chromium has good toughness. Non-iron based precision alloy with high temperature and corrosion resistance, especially the necessary material of chromium base alloy, has important applications in the fields of aerospace industry, jet aircraft manufacturing and gas turbine manufacturing.

In order to avoid iron, silicon, aluminum and other impurities, industrial production of high purity chromium must rely on electrolysis.

Chromium trioxide is an important chromium compound and a strong oxidizer. Mainly used in the electroplating industry, making the raw materials of electroplating chromium such as bicycle, watch, instrument and daily use hardware, and also used in manufacturing high purity metallic chromium. It is the raw material of low temperature conversion catalyst, high temperature conversion catalyst and high pressure methanol synthesis catalyst.

In the process of producing high purity chromium, chromic trioxide is prepared into electrolyte and electrolyzed through electrolysis cell, and finally metal chromium is deposited.
