Ammonium Dichromate is a chemical compound that finds diverse applications in various chemical processes. It is used in photoengraving and lithography because of its light-sensitive properties. It is also used in pyrotechnics and as a pure source of nitrogen in laboratories to manufacture other chemicals. It also finds its application as a mordant in dyeing and printing. It is also used in the tanning of leather. It is often used in the production of chrome alum, which is further used in textile dyeing and leather processing.

The versatility of Ammonium Dichromate makes it an in-demand commodity in various industrial sectors, which contributes to its market growth. Its market is mainly driven by its application as mordant in dyeing and printing processes, which largely promotes its demand in the textile and printing industries. Its involvement in photoengraving and lithography further enhances its demand in the photography, printing, and graphic arts industries. Its association with the leather industry for various processing also increases its market expansion. Additionally, its application in the chemical industry, the cost, and the availability of the raw materials (chromic acid, etc.), technological advancements, logistics, sustainability practices, and adherence to quality standards serve as factors that influence Ammonium Dichromate procurement globally.

Raw Material for Ammonium Dichromate Production

According to the Ammonium Dichromate manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Ammonium Dichromate production include Sodium Dichromate/Chromic Acid-Ammonium Hydroxide/Ammonium Chloride.

Manufacturing Process of Ammonium Dichromate

The extensive Ammonium Dichromate production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:

• Production form Sodium Dichromate/Chromic Acid: This method of production involves the use of sodium dichromate or chromic acid and ammonium hydroxide, or ammonium chloride, as the major raw materials for the synthesis of ammonium dichromate as the product. The process is initiated by the reaction of chromic acid or sodium dichromate with ammonium hydroxide/ammonium chloride to obtain ammonium dichromate as the final product. Moreover, the reaction of chromic acid with ammonium hydroxide to produce ammonium dichromate also involves an extra step of crystallization after the reaction.

Ammonium Dichromate ((NH4)2Cr2O7) is a bright orange-red crystalline chemical primarily composed of two ammonium ions, two chromium atoms, and seven oxygen atoms. It produces voluminous green residues during combustion. It has a density of 2.12 g/cm³ and a molecular weight of 252.07 g/mol. The melting point of Ammonium Dichromate is measured around 180 °C, and it has an autoignition temperature of approximately 190 °C. Due to its high volatility, burning it in a closed container can lead to the rupture of the container owing to the decomposition of the material. It is an explosive compound soluble in water and alcohol at room temperature. It is odorless, and it decomposes upon heating, leading to the production of chromium(III) oxide (Cr2O3) and nitrogen gas.
