Chemistry & industry
Applications
UsesIt is used as skin protective's, thickeners, and absorbent agents. It act as a coloring agents in cosmetics.
UsesIn face powders; as pigment; manufacture of artificial pearls, dry-cell cathodes.
Usesbismuth oxychloride is an inorganic color additive. It is used mostly in makeup manufacturing and rarely in skin care formulations. It may also be used for pearlization in cosmetics.
General DescriptionOdorless white solid. Sinks in water.
Preparation methods
PreparationBismuth oxychloride is made by treating bismuth chloride with water and then drying the white precipitate so formed to expel a molecule of water: BiCl3 + 2H2O → Bi(OH)2Cl + 2HCl Bi(OH)2Cl → BiOCl + H2O Also, the compound is prepared by treating a dilute nitric acid solution of bismuth nitrate with sodium chloride.
