Preparation
editStrontium chromate is prepared from strontium chloride and sodium chromate, or from strontium carbonate and sodium dichromate.
Reactions
editStrontium chromate is approximately 30 times more soluble in water at 100 °C than at room temperature. Therefore, the yellow strontium chromate can be suspended in a hot solution of a soluble sulfate to digest until fully converted to the much less soluble and white strontium sulfate, leaving the chromate or dichromate in solution.
Uses
edit- Corrosion inhibitor in pigments
- In electrochemical processes to control sulphate concentration of solutions
- Colorant in polyvinyl chloride resins
- Pyrotechnics[1]
- Aluminium flake coatings
- As an anti-corrosive primer for zinc, magnesium, aluminium, and alloys used in aircraft manufacture.
- As a pigment used in oil painting named strontium yellow.[1]
