Raw Material for Rhodium Chloride Production

According to the Rhodium Chloride manufacturing plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Rhodium Chloride include Rhodium Oxide-Hydrochloric Acid.

Manufacturing Process of Rhodium Chloride

The extensive Rhodium Chloride production cost report consists of the following major industrial manufacturing process:

1. Production From Rhodium Oxide and Hydrochloric Acid: The manufacturing process of Rhodium Chloride involves a reaction between rhodium oxide and hydrochloric acid. This reaction gives rhodium chloride trihydrate as an intermediate product. This intermediate is then treated with concentrated hydrochloric acid, forming Rhodium Chloride as the final product.

Rhodium Chloride has a molecular formula of RhCl3 with a molecular weight of 209.26 g/mol. It is a red to brown-colored crystalline powder and has an acidic odor. It is soluble in water as well as different chemical solvents like alcohols and hydrochloric acid and is moderately soluble in acetone. However, it is insoluble in aqua regia and ether. It remains stable under normal conditions but decomposes on heating to release chlorine gas in the air. It is a deliquescent crystalline chemical with a melting and boiling point of 450°C and 717°C, respectively. It is a hygroscopic chemical and absorbs moisture when exposed to air.
