  • This is the beginning of a series on Chromate based pigments.
    In part one I will make Lead Chromate also known as Chrome Yellow.

    If you added soluable silver to this would it make black chromate? It’s my understanding that yellow chromate + silver = black chromate

    I made chrome yellow using lead acetate and potassium dichromate.
    Mixed it with some titanium dioxide white pigment.
    Ground it into a linseed oil based paint and painted a birdhouse with it.

    I am appalled at how chromates and dichromates are treated here. This is chromium in the oxidation state +7. ALL CHROMATES/DICHROMATES ARE HIGHLY TOXIC AND ALSO CARCINOGENIC. In addition, lead nitrate is a very easily soluble salt of the very toxic heavy metal lead. I can only warn everyone that playing with such substances and using them as pigments is simply stupid. Anyone who pours the waste from this production down the drain not only risks poisoning the groundwater, but also faces severe punishment from the public prosecutor. It is stupid and irresponsible to post a video like this without pointing out the dangers.

    Found out there is a new yellow compound that is replacing lead chromate. Its bismuth vanadate, a very intense yellow! You can buy vanadium pentoxide from pottery supply stores and react it with sodium carbonate to make sodium metavanadate. From there I guess a bismuth salt of some sort would do a replacement reaction and make bismuth vanadate

      I am in the process of tracking down the materials I need to make the Bismuth Vanadate it looks very promising as a replacement for chrome yellow, though chrome yellow is very unique and despite its toxicity I really like it. Thank you for the information its helps a lot, there are only so many areas I can focus on in terms of research, so any help I get is very valuable.

    How does the reaction look like?
    I don't know how the dichromate makes lead chromate and not dichromate. I was looking for the reaction in the internet but they really doesn't look normal.

    So, with this pigment, is this going to brown over time? I've read that it's not lightfast.

    • @TheAlchemicalArts
      @TheAlchemicalArts  5 років тому

      Yes it will unfortunately but there are some improvements that can be done that will make them lightfast which I will explore in a future video.

    The Alchemical Arts how shiny is that chrome yellow paint? Lead paint is durable even though it is toxic. How do you get other colors of lead based paints like blue,green,grey,black,purple? I know they have weird names like chrome yellow. Is it possible to take powdered lead add linseed oil to it and powder pigment make own lead paint by mixing it together?

    I recently did a electro- chemical reaction with chromium eletrodes in a magnesium sulfate solution. The solution started turning yellow (which I assume is the chromate ion). So I made magnesium chromate?

      I would say so, most metal chromates are yellow as far a I know. Nice accidental pigment making.

I wouldn't use drain cleaner as there will most likely impurities and cleaning and purifying acids is not really that fun or safe, plus again I don't think sulfuric is the best at dissolving metallic lead.
