Action of Anionic Chrome on Chrome Tanning

Effect of chrome tanning on the thermal behavior of collagen fibers: A calorimetric and kinetic analysis

To further understand the effect of chrome tanning on the thermal stability of leather, the thermal shrinkage behaviors of native and chrome-tanned collagen fibers were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) using isoconversional and multivariate non-linear regression (Multivar-NLR) methods. The activation energies of the shrinkage processes were evaluated by both the differential (...

The rise of Chrome

Since Chrome’s initial release in 2008 it has grown in market share, and now controls roughly half of the desktop browsers market. In contrast with Internet Explorer, the previous dominant browser, this was not achieved by marketing practices such as bundling the browser with a pre-loaded operating system. This raises the question of how Chrome achieved this remarkable feat, while other browser...

Plating with Trivalent Chrome

Hexavalent chromium wastes need to be chemically reduced to trivalent chrome in the shop’s treatment plant. This necessitates the use of expensive chemicals such as sulfur dioxide, sodium metabisulfite or sodium borohydride. Also considerable hazardous sludge is generated during the neutralization step of the treatment process due to the high chromium concentration of the plating solutions. Haz...

Chrome Electroplating Waste BAT

During the past several years, waste produced by the electroplating industry has attracted attention due to the level of pollutants found in the waste stream, the difficulty associated with treatment, and the cost of waste disposal. EPA has enacted regulations to control the discharge from plating facilities and estimates that 140 million lb of metal pollutants will be prevented from being disc...
