Characterized by high solubility in
water. It is an orange-red, deliquescent, crystalline
hydrate.
Magnesium Chromate is a small readily soluble, yellow crystals, formed by reaction of magnesium carbonate and chromic acid solution.
Magnesium chromate (MgCrO4) has several medical uses, including as a dietary supplement
and laxative.
Since Magnesium Chromate does not produce a fusible alkaline residue when thermally decomposed, it is used as a corrosion inhibitor in the water coolant of gas turbine engines. Insoluble basic magnesium chromates also are available. Their potential applications are in the treatment of light metal surfaces.
Potential applications are in formulations for
corrosion prevention and metal treatment. Noncombustible.
