Literature References: In the U.S.A. it is usually prepared by the reaction of potassium chloride on sodium dichromate: Vetter in Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology vol. 3 (Interscience, New York, 1949) p 951; Hartford, Copson, ibid. vol. 5 (2nd ed., 1964) pp 484-488. In Germany it is obtained from potassium chromate produced by roasting the chrome ore with KOH. Ref: M?ller, Glissmann in Ullmanns Encyklop?die der technischen Chemie vol. 5 (Munich, 3rd ed., 1954) p 580.
