 Surface Science Western
X-ray photoelectron spectra of a number of chromium oxides and other compounds were studied under high spectral resolution conditions chosen to reduce the possibility of differential charging.
The splitting patterns produced were similar for all trivalent binary and ternary oxides and sulphides whose patterns closely reproduced the splitting predicted for the Cr (III) free ion by Gupta and Sen (GS).1,2 Fitting data for spectra with multiplet split peak structure is shown in Table 1.
In many cases, a thick zinc oxide was present at the surface and the use of the charge neutralizer was warranted.

 Chromium oxide in ion exchange resin - Patent 4569765
Hydrated chromium III oxide, identified empirically as Cr.sub.2 O.sub.3.nH.sub.2 O, is incorporated into an anion exchange resin thereby providing a novel composite useful in removing a wide spectrum of polyvalent metal cations, even simultaneously, from aqueous solutions and then releasing said cations when the composite is regenerated with water.

Generally, thermite is made by mixing Iron Oxide and Aluminum powder and igniting it at very high temperatures (a few thousand degrees).
Although Copper Oxide thermite is probably the most common of the exotic thermites, one could also use other metal Oxides such as Tin Oxide, Lead Oxide, or any other metal Oxide which could be reacted with a reducing metal (such as Aluminum or Magnesium).
They key is that the reducing metal must be sufficiently higher on the activity series than the metal Oxide in order to support the single replacement reaction.
