Abstract
Abstract Ferromagnetic chromium dioxide is prepared by converting oxides of trivalent and hexavalent chromium under superatmospheric pressure and at elevated temperatures in the presence of water and with the addition of an antimony compound as a modifier and, if required, further additives in an amount of not more than 15% by weight, by a method in which the antimony compound is present in the form of a water-soluble salt whose anion contains one or more organic molecular moieties which are oxidized in concentrated chromic acid.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
177 words
A process for the preparation of a ferromagnetic chromium dioxide by converting oxides of trivalent and hexavalent chromium under a pressure of from 100 to 700 bar and at a temperature of from 200° to 600° C. in the presence of water, an antimony modifier and acicular iron oxide particles or acicular iron particles in an amount of not more than 15% by weight comprising adding an antimony compound as a modifier in the form of a water-soluble salt in an amount of at least 0.1% by weight but less than 4% by weight, based on the resulting chromium dioxide and said iron oxide or iron particles to a mixture of hexavalent chromium oxide and water, adding trivalent chromium oxide thereto and subjecting the resultant mixture to said pressure and temperature, with a proviso that the water-soluble antimony compound contains at least one organic molecular moiety anion which is oxidized by the oxide of hexavalent chromium with the evolution of gas when said antimony compound is added to a mixture of said hexavalent chromium oxide and water.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
177 words
A process for the preparation of a ferromagnetic chromium dioxide by converting oxides of trivalent and hexavalent chromium under a pressure of from 100 to 700 bar and at a temperature of from 200° to 600° C. in the presence of water, an antimony modifier and acicular iron oxide particles or acicular iron particles in an amount of not more than 15% by weight comprising adding an antimony compound as a modifier in the form of a water-soluble salt in an amount of at least 0.1% by weight but less than 4% by weight, based on the resulting chromium dioxide and said iron oxide or iron particles to a mixture of hexavalent chromium oxide and water, adding trivalent chromium oxide thereto and subjecting the resultant mixture to said pressure and temperature, with a proviso that the water-soluble antimony compound contains at least one organic molecular moiety anion which is oxidized by the oxide of hexavalent chromium with the evolution of gas when said antimony compound is added to a mixture of said hexavalent chromium oxide and water.
