Oxidation with potassium chromate-sulfuric acid

AMMONIUM NITRATE (6484-52-2) A strong oxidizer. An ingredient in dynamite. Violent reaction and/or the formation of explosive mixtures with hot water, reducing agents, combustible materials, organic materials, ammonium dichromate, barium chloride, barium nitrate, charcoal, cyanoguanidine, phosphorus, potassium chromate, potassium dichromate, potassium nitrate, potassium permanganate, sodium chloride, finely divided metals. Forms explosive or heat- and shock-sensitive compounds with acetic acid, alkali metals (potassium, sodium, etc.), ammonia, nitric acid, sodium hypochlorite, sulfur, urea. At elevated temperatures, contained or confined material may explode violently. 

BENSULFOID (7704-34-9) Combustible solid (flash point 405°F/207°C). Finely divided dry materia forms explosive mixture with air. The vapor reacts violently with lithium carbide.

Forms heat-, friction-, impact-, and shock-sensitive explosive or pyrophoric mixtures with ammonia, ammonium nitrate, barium bromate, bromates, calcium carbide, charcoal, hydrocarbons, iodates, iodine pentafluoride, iodine penloxide, iron, lead chromate, mercurous oxide, mercury nitrate, mercury oxide, nitryl fluoride, nitrogen dioxide, inorganic perchlorates, potassium bromate, potassium nitride, potassium perchlorate, silver nitrate, sodium hydride, sulfur dichloride. Incompatible with barium carbide, calcium, calcium carbide, calcium phosphide, chromates, chromic acid, chromic... 

Most types of organic matter (electron donor) are oxidized to carbon dioxide and water by boiling a mixture of dichromate and sulfuric acid. Samples are refluxed in a strong acid with a known excess of potassium dichromate (K2Cr20y). Dichromate (Cr, orange color) is reduced to chromate (Cr +, green... 

The roasted clinker is then leached out with hot water and the resulting liquor filtered to remove insoluble silica, along with aluminum and iron oxides present as impurities in the original chromite ore. Pure sodium dichromate is then crystallized and dried. The anhydrous sodium chromate can then be reduced to chromium trioxide by simple carbothermic reduction. Note that the sodium chromate produced can be converted into the dichromate by dissolving it in sulfuric acid and is the basis for the manufacture of all industrially important chromium chemicals. Once produced, chromium trioxide is mixed with aluminum powder and lime and placed inside a refractory-lined steel vessel. The exothermic reaction is started by igniting a pyrotechnic mixture made of barium peroxide and aluminum powder or potassium chlorate aluminum powder ... 

However molded graphite cannot be used to seal materials that would attack it chemically, such as aqua regia, perchloric acid, and oleum (fuming sulfuric acid) (see Ch. 3, Sec. 7.0). Sealing failure may also occur with abrasive materials such as chromic acid, chromic oxide, chrome plating compounds, potassium dichromate, sodium chromate, and sodium dichro-mate.Pl...
