Iron(II) chromite is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula FeCr2O4.
Preparation
It is created by the sintering of chromium(III) oxide and iron(II) oxide at 1600 °C. It also occurs in nature as the mineral chromite, though with many impurities.
Uses
It is used as a commercial source of chromium and its compounds. [2]It is also used as a catalyst in the synthesis of dihydrogen from the reaction between carbon monoxide and water vapour
Safety
Its dust particles may cause irritation. Avoid inhalation and/ or ingestion of dusts. Swallowing larger amounts may cause injury.
