Synthesis and characterisation of chromium oxide as a pigment for high temperature application
Abstract
In this paper, the synthesis and the application of chromic oxide as a high temperature pigment have been reported. To synthesise chromic oxide, solid‐state reaction using sulphur and sodium chromate tetrahydrate was undertaken. Morphology of the pigment synthesised was investigated by scanning electron microscopy. Formation of the chromic oxide was observed at 888°C in an oxidising atmosphere. Thorough washing of the resultant pigment played a vital role in the aggregation of the pigment particles, as demonstrated by a particle size characteristics.
