ABOUT PIGMENTS
A Pigment is a finally divided material which
contributes to optical and other properties of
paints. Pigments may be classified according
to their composition or source which they are
obtained from. However, the most common
and useful classification is that coloured
pigments can be made using simple chemical
reaction and techniques.
CHROME YELLOW
Chrome yellow is a Lead(II) Chromate. It occurs
naturally as the mineral crocoite but the mineral
itself was never used as a pigment in paintings.
In 1797 Lead Chromate has been synthesized in
the laboratory and its use as a pigment started
in the second decade of the nineteenth century.
Because the pigment tends to oxidize and
darken on exposure to air over time and it
contains lead, a toxic, heavy metal, it was
originally replaced by another pigment,
Cadmium Yellow.
PRUSSIAN BLUE
Prussian blue is a dark blue pigment. Another
name for the colour is Berlin Blue. Prussian Blue
was the first modern synthetic pigment. It is
employed as a very fine colloidal dispersion, as
the compound itself is not soluble in water. It is
famously complex, owing to the presence of
variable amounts of other ions and the sensitive
dependence of its appearance on the size of the
colloidal particles formed when it is made. The
pigments is used in paints and it is the
traditional BLUE in blueprints.
BARIUM WHITE
The majority of synthetic barium sulphate
is used a component of white pigments for
paints. In oil paint, barium sulphate is
almost transparent, and is used as a filter
or to modify consistency. One major
manufacturer of artists oil paint sells
Permanent White that contains a mixture
of titanium white pigment and barium
sulphate. The combination of barium
sulphate and zinc sulphide is the inorganic
pigment called lithopone. In photography it
is used as a coating for certain
photographic papers.
MALACHITE GREEN
Its a mineral basic copper carbonate,
moderately permanent pigment of varying
colour. Malachite is perhaps the oldest
known green pigment. It is sensitive to
acids and to heat. Occurs in Egyptian tomb
paintings, in European paintings it seems
to have been of importance mainly in the
15th and 16th centuries.

PERFORMING THE
EXPERIMENT
PREPARATION OF
CHROME YELLOW
Equation involved:-
K2CrO4 + Pb(NO3)2 PbCrO4 +
2KNO3
PREPARATION OF PRUSSIAN
BLUE
Chemically known as COMPLEX
FERRO CYANIDE.
1. Make a solution of 5 gm of
Hydrated Iron(III) Chloride in 50ml
of water.
2. Make a solution of 10 gm of
Potassium Ferro Cyanide in 75 ml of
water.
3. Add Iron Chloride solution into
Potassium Ferro Cyanide solution
while stirring briskly.
4. A dark blue colour very fine
powdered type substance
precipitates.
5. Filter the precipitate and wash it
with water.It takes along time to
filter this substance.
Equation involved:-
4FeCl3 + 3K4[Fe(CN)6]
Fe4[Fe(CN)6] + 12KCl

RESULT
We have prepared pigments of paint
such as Chrome yellow, Prussian
blue, Barium white and Malachite
green.
PRECAUTIONS
The beaker and the funnel should
be washed before.
The amount of reactant to be taken
should be measured carefully.
Fresh chemicals should be used.
The funnel must not touch the
solution in the beaker.
During the process of setting, the
apparatus must not be disturbed.
The chemicals must be handed
carefully.
