Moreover, sodium chromate is widely used to prepare sodium dichromate on a large scale, which serves as an important chemical for various industrial uses. It also finds its application in the production of pigments for inks and paints. Additionally, it is also used as a wood preservative chemical to protect wood from decay and pests.

Sodium Chromate exhibits strong oxidizing properties that largely promote its demand in the chemical industry. Its usage as an intermediate in the synthesis of chromium-based compounds significantly boosts its demand in the chemical manufacturing industry. Its application as a corrosion inhibitor in the petrochemical industry also contributes to its market expansion.

Its involvement as a component in the preparation of inks and paints also fuels its demand in the printing and paint & coatings industries. Its application in the formulation of wood preservatives further propels its demand in the wood processing industry. Generally, its application in the chemical industry, the availability of raw materials (chromite ore, etc.), cost and pricing, distribution, logistics, quality standards, and supplier relationships serve as factors that influence industrial Sodium Chromate procurement globally.

Raw Material for Sodium Chromate Production

According to the Sodium Chromate manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Sodium Chromate production include Chromite Ore (FeCr2O4)-Sodium Carbonate.

Manufacturing Process of Sodium Chromate

The extensive Sodium Chromate production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:

• Production from Chromite Ore: This method of production involves three major procedures, which include chromite ore roasting, leaching, and purification to synthesize sodium chromate as the product. The process is initiated by roasting the ore with sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) at high temperatures to give sodium chromate (Na2CrO4) and other byproducts. Further, the roasted product undergoes leaching with water to separate it from solid byproducts, followed by purification and crystallization to obtain solid sodium chromate as the final product.

Sodium Chromate is a yellow crystalline compound with the chemical formula Na2CrO4. It is a hazardous crystalline solid containing two sodium, one chromium, and four oxygen atoms. Its molecular weight is 161.973 g/mol. It is an oxidizing compound that is hygroscopic. Its melting point is measured approximately at 792 °C. It has a good solubility in water. Similarly, the compound can be dissolved in other chemical solvents, including alcohols, such as ethanol and methanol.

It has a density of 2.7 g/cm³ at a standard temperature of 25 °C. It decomposes when heated at an elevated temperature while releasing toxic fumes of sodium oxide. It dissolves in water, forming an aqueous solution with an alkaline nature. It is a deliquescent crystalline compound. Its reaction with sulfuric acid results in the formation of sodium dichromate, sodium sulfate, and water. It reacts with lead nitrate to give sodium nitrate and lead chromate as the final product.
