SWIM has access to lots of unwatched/uncontrolled substances but fucking no way to get this sodium dichromate.
is there any way to synthesise it easily???

i.e. NaOH instead of KOH???
thanks

Don't make it, buy it.
Potassium dichromate is available from companies that distribute photographic chemicals. Cheap too.

Don't bother making your reagents... purchase them! There's nothing suspicious about purchasing a small to medium amount of dichromate.

From wood finishing/french polishing suppliers. Used as a water based stain, called Bichromate of Potash.

but can SWIM use potassium dichromat in the synthesis of copper(II)chromite instead of sodium dichromat?

In some countries dichromate is watched because itīs toxic. Thatīs why you need a permission to buy it. I guess rookee lives in such a country and I fear thatīs why he/she is definitely not able to get it in a store.

Rookee Did you read anything about this?
perhaps 248449 where placebo states:
"BTW, SWIM used Copper Nitrate and sodium chromate for the catalyst, and due to lack of supply, SWIM also tried Pottasium chromate with positive results."

SWIM is from germany, where nearly everything is watched and controlled...
so he has to synthesise almost anything.

How the hell do you guys learn to speak english? Is that a required course over there? (BTW, that is good, not bad).

Yes it is.
Most lit. are written in English or German. I'm from a country where we are only a few mill. people. Gues how much advanced chem. lit there is written on my birth language (and that's why the spelling somtimes is a bit 'strange' )

Potassium chromate is available in some countries from specialist art and craft suppliers as a dye mordant.

for the acetaldehyde synth can this potassium dichromate substitute the sodium

The dichromate ion is the bit that does the oxidising, so I think the only chemical difference between the Na+ and K+ salts is their solubility. K2Cr2O7 is less soluble, especially in cold water. Na2Cr2O7 is hydroscopic, so it's hard to weigh out exact amounts. For this reason K2Cr2O7 is preferred for volumetric analysis.
