Application

Anhydrous chromium chloride is an important precursor for the low temperature synthesis of anhydrous metal sulfides, nitrides, phosphides, etc. It is also an important precursor for the synthesis of chromium containing mixed metal complexes; example lithium chromium chloride (Li2CrCl4), which shows rapid lithium ion conduction.

Anhydrous chromium chloride finds applications as catalysts, chromizing ferrous metals, steel, etc. The vapor-phase co-reductions with other metal halides by hydrogen results in finely divided intermetallics with applications as structural materials or compounds with useful thermoelectric, magnetic, and oxidation-resistance properties.

Chromium chloride powder is air and water sensitive. Beads have lower surface area and pour easily.

A total of 250 broilers in a completely randomized design selected to evaluate the effect of different levels of chromium (Cr) supplementation on performance, carcass traits and some blood parameters of heat-stressed broiler chicks. All birds were kept under heat
Mehdi Toghyani et al.
Biological trace element research, 146(2), 171-180 (2011-10-19)
This study was conducted to determine the effects of dietary supplementation with Cr nicotinate and Cr chloride and their optimum inclusion rate on performance, carcass traits, meat oxidative stability, serum metabolites, hematological parameters, and liver chromium concentration in heat-stressed broilers.
