General Description
A yellow crystalline solid. The primary hazard is the threat to the environment. Immediate steps should be taken to limit its spread to the environment. It is used as a corrosion inhibitor and in the manufacture of other chemicals.

Hazards

Reactivity Alerts
Air & Water Reactions
Deliquescent. Water soluble
Fire Hazard
No information available.
Health Hazard
INHALATION: Corrosive to skin and mucous membranes causing dermatitis and slow healing ulcers. EYES: Conjunctivitis and lacrimation. INGESTION: Violent gastroenteritis, peripheral vascular collapse, vertigo, muscle cramps, coma, hemorrhagic diathesis, fever, liver damage and renal failure. (USCG, 1999)
Reactivity Profile
LITHIUM CHROMATE is an oxidizing agent. Can oxidize combustibles (USCG, 1999). Combining the chromate with zirconium can be explosive given the right proportions of reactants, [Z. Anorg., 1930, 191, 113].
Belongs to the Following Reactive Group(s)
