Description

Patented Nov. 14, 1933 rnocnss ron: THE MANUFACTURE 7 on i ALKALINE DICHROMATES 7 Jules Emile Demant, Cuise-Lamotte, France as- 'signor' to B'ozel-MaletrwSocieteindustrielle de Produits Ghimiques, Paris, France, a cor-'- pora'tion of France Q No Drawing. Application February 3, 1932, Serial No. 590,641, and 'in France March 21,,
This inventionrelates to the manufacture of alkaline. dichromates.
It .is known that hitherto the manufacture of dichromates took place in'two phases, first chrmium oxide or bodies containing chromium oxide were treated in a furnace at temperature higher than 800 C. with alka'lies with the object of the formation of mono-chromate, then the l monochromate was decomposed by means of an acid in Order to obtain the dichromate.
. Inxaccordance with the process of the present invention the dichromate is obtained in a :single phase by causing chromium oxide, its derivatives or bodies containing theysame, or metallic chromium,iits alloy or mixtures comprising chromium, to undergo an oxidizing disaggregation :by a dry method above300 Ctin the presence of bases or of mono-chromate in the quantity necessary for the reaction. The quantity of the alkali used in the process is at most 2 molecules-of NaOI-I (or a' cor-responding alkali) for' 1 molecule of Crz'O3,'no addition'of acid being'necessary. -Obviously, the reacting of one of th'e two reagents tion. In practice the temperature employed is between 300 and' 600" C. and the pressure is not higher than 20 Kg/cm As shown byth'e examples given hereinafter, good results are obtained with a temperature of 400 to 500 C. and
a pressure of approximately 5 Kg/cm 3 Two great advantages ofdthe process will be seen immediately, the obtaining of the dichromate in a single phase and'the economy of a considerable'quantity of alkaliwhich is transformed into a less valuable salt in the case of the decomposition of chromate by acid.
..It is expedient in certain cases to avoid the fusion of the product of reaction and'to this; end an excess of chromium can be used to serve as diluent, this excess being ultimately returned to the process of manufacture. It is necessary that the mixture should be very intimate. These intimate mixtures canvbe obtained by all the cus tomary-methods .and for example by a preliminary chemical reduction ofva mixture, of chromium1ox 21 Claims. (01. 22. 56)
ide or of an alloy of metallic chromium and monochromate. The alkali thus liberated is intimately distributed in the mass.
The following examples illustrate the invention the parts being by weight:--,- 1
' Example 1 .190 .parts of chromium oxide and .106 parts of sodium carbonate suitably mixed, are-treated in a furnace at 300-400 C. in the current of oxygen or air under slight pressure.
At the end of several :hours the yield of sodium dichromateexceecls 91 v The excess of chromium oxide employed is returned to the process of manufacture. 7o
A mixture composed of 100-150 parts of commercial ferrochrome containing 62.5% of chromium, and parts of caustic soda is treated for 5 hours at 400-500 C; in a current of oxygen under 5lkgs. pressure. v 1
The product obtained is treated with water; The solution contains a mixture of sodium monochromate and dichromate, the amount of .d-ichromate being from 60 to 61%.
" Example 3 v Example 4 i 160 parts of NazCrOl and 1250" parts of ferrochrome-acontaining 68.2% of chromium are heated to 400 C. in a current of hydrogen for 2 hours inorder to obtain a very intimate mixture of the reaction products.
.Then the whole is oxidized for 6 hours at 490 -C.: in a current of oxygen under 5 kgs. 'pres--.
