Zinc chromate or zinc yellow (other synonyms in Table 1) are widely used, for example,

In the metal and printing industry. The Danish Product Register (PROBAS) lists, where

47,400 entries for 110 products containing zinc chromate such as paints, floor coverings, stains and corrosion inhibitors (Flyvholm 1991).

Expected to be used in the passivation of galvanized metal parts using alkali metal chromates

or alkaline dichromate (Fregert et al. 1970).

The term zinc chromate is used for a number of substances and mixtures (Table 1), where,

However, it is rarely defined precisely in publications. In addition to significant differences in the composition of product groups described as zinc chromate,

In particular, the various products have different solubility in water, so the chromate ion (CrO42–) and dichromate ions (Cr2O72–) publish must be taken into account (Adams et al., 1976). This apparently also worked。Product use; simple paints mainly contain less dissociated products

The yellow types are more easily broken down into ions (IV and V in Table 1).

Except that many different products are included in the term zinc chromate
