Chromium Fluid Analysis

bedrock and soil. Chromium weathered from the rocks is deposited on the soil and groundwater. Chromium is also generated anthropogenically from various industrial processes which includes electroplating, leather tanning, wood preservations, manufacturing of dye, paint, paper, petroleum refining processes, metal finishing, alloysteel manufacturing, and lasers(Owlad et al., 2010). According to BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) and USEPA the maximum acceptable limit for Cr(VI) in drinking water is 0.05 mg/L and total chromium (Cr(VI) and Cr(III)) is 2 mg/L(Jain et al., 2010). Various conventional techniques have been employed for the removal of chromium from water which includes Reverse osmosis, Chemical precipitation, Filtration, Ion exchange, …show more content…

Adsorption is one of the major process used for the removal of Cr(VI) worldwide because it is inexpensive, widely applicable, efficient and creates little amount of sludge(Kannan and Rengasamy, 2005). Chromium can be removed using adsorbents of natural as well as chemical origin. However, these bio-adsorbents have various disadvantages like waste may itself contain various toxicants and subsequently increase the organic content of water. Studies have showed adsorption capacities and applicability for some low-cost materials, among others like alluminium oxide, chitosan, bentonite, saw dust and waste slurry (Dubey and Gopal, 2007). Activated carbon is an effective inexpensive adsorbent which has use in various industries to purify water (D Mohan and Chander, 2001; Yoshihara et al.,2007; Yin et al., 2007). Activated charcoal possesses large surface area and number of micropores that make it a suitable for application as adsorbent for environmental pollutants. In commercial scale they are considered as good absorber for the removal of the …show more content…

nZVI possesses a large removal capacity, fast kinetics and high reactivity for the degradation/removal of many environmental pollutants (Chen et al., 2012; Chen et al., 2013). It has also been confirmed in previous studies that nZVI has higher absorption and enhanced reactivity for Cr(VI) removal (Zhang et al., 2013) compared to other materials (Montesinos et al., 2014). However, bare nZVI are prone to rapid agglomeration leading to the formation of micro-sized aggregates which lead to loss in reactivity and reduced in the environmental mobility (Grieger et al., 2010). This is attributed to their rapid oxidation, magnetization and high reactivity (Zhang et al., 2013; Zhou et al., 2015). One of the proposed method to overcome this drawback is to coat the nZVI particle surface with surfactants, upon rapid desorption of surfactants into the waste water the particle stability would markedly reduce. Alternate method introduces support to immobilize nZVI on surface, thus reducing agglomeration of nZVI. The immobilizer studies for such purpose includes, MWCNTs (Lv et al., 2011), cellulose, biochar, montmorillonite(Zhang et al., 2013), fullers earth and bentonite(Shi et al., 2011) etc. In an earlier study by (Sharma et al., 2015) we found the optimum loading with lower

For this lab, zeolite and magnetized zeolite were synthesized and compared with charcoal to find out with would be the most effective in the sequestering of Procion Red dye. Finding the concentration and absorbance of each zeolite, magnetized zeolite, and charcoal, along with a calibration curve, the best adsorbent is determined. Charcoal was the overall best sequestration of the Procion Red dye, since the adsorbent was highest compared to the others. Introduction Pollution has increased in the environment over the years, so the purpose of this experiment is to find the best adsorbent of chemicals to reduce the pollution.

The purpose of this report is determine if sodium chloride is a viable option as a deicer on winter roads. To determine this, one must compare a multitude of factors. In this lab, the freezing point depression of water, enthalpy of dissolution, cost, and environmental impact will be discussed. A large factor in how effective a substance is as a deicer is it’s ability to decrease the freezing point of water. If the freezing point of water can be lowered, the outside temperature must be much colder to reach this new freezing point, resulting in less ice on the roads.

The percent recovery of the copper was calculated using the equation, percent recovery = (the mass of the copper recovered after all the chemical reactions/the initial mass of the copper) x 100. The amount of copper that was recovered was 0.32 grams and the initial mass of the copper was 0.46 grams. Using the equation, (0.32 grams/0.46 grams) x 100 equaled 69.56%. The amount of copper recovered was slightly over two-thirds of the initial amount.

The last few days I have had the chance to work with Chrystal I wanted to do a quick recap on what we have been able to cover in her training so far and confirm improvement on points Amanda was able to make in her first recap! Chrystal is overall very confident in setting up for appointment, filling out tray covers, getting patients from the front, walking them to the front, and taking photos (we discussed improvements on photos and techniques.) Here are a few appointments we have covered in the last few days. Comfort shorts: She is very eager to jump in!

The harm that was caused by Chromium 6 to the Hinkley residents are they were affected by the groundwater contamination got cancer. This happened because the source of water that the residents use in their daily life is from polluted underground water. From year 1996, which the unfortunate incident happened, until year 2008, there were up to 196 cases of cancer were identified and confirmed among all the families in

Desalination is the process through which dissolved minerals and salts are eliminated from water, including seawater, saline water, brine water and brackish water. Through desalination, the water that was not suitable for drinking is converted into potable water. The popularity of desalination has continued to increase over the years due to rapid increase in global population and water demand, environmental changes such as frequent droughts, land encroachment, among other human activities. Conventional methods of desalination were only focused on eliminating salts from seawater but newer technologies have made it possible to desalinate even other wastewater containing impurities including salty groundwater, rivers, industrial effluents, etc. (Kellyn Betts, 2004) Technology has been an important factor in scaling up desalination process to meet various treatment design plants.

There are high absorptions of sulfur and chlorine in Martian soil. This entails that both the soil and airborne dust might be acidic, which could pose a peril if they are introduced into an astronaut haven. It will constitute a major health risk to astronauts operating on the surface of Mars if even a small portion of the chromium contained in the Martian soil and airborne dust is hexavalent chromium. The human community would not be able to bear it, due to the toxic Martian soil and hazardous airborne dust found over a large extent of the planet’s surface. NASA planetary scientist Joel S. Levine reveals that “Airborne dust and soil on Mars contains trace amounts of hazardous chemicals, including compounds of toxic metals that are known to cause cancer over the long term if inhaled in sufficient quantities.”

“Chrome Orange” is a lead, chromium-based pigment that was introduced in 1809. The color can range from light to deep orange, and was only recently ceased in world production. This was the first real orange pigment since the medieval use of “Realgar”. “Chrome Orange” is depicted in the painting above on the boats. Pigments are ground colored materials that are the basis of all paints.
