Hexavalent Chromium Pollution Abatement by use of Scrap Iron
In this study, the reduction of Cr(VI) by use of scrap iron, a cheap and locally available industrial waste, was investigated in continuous system. The greater scrap iron efficiency observed for the first two sections of the column filling indicate that most of the reduction process was carried out in the bottom half of the column filling. This was ascribed to a constant decrease of Cr(VI) conc...
متن کاملCarcinogenicity of hexavalent chromium.
Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)), a commonly used industrial metal, is a well known human lung carcinogen. Epidemiology and animal studies suggest that the particulate Cr(VI) compounds, specifically the water insoluble compounds, are the more potent carcinogens; however, the carcinogenic mechanism remains unknown. Here we summarize recent Cr(VI)-induced human tumour, in vivo, cell culture and in vi...
متن کاملMODFLOW/MT3DMS Based Modeling Leachate Pollution Transfer in Solid Waste Disposal of Bahar Plain Deep Aquifer
Abstract Background and purpose: This paper presents a case study in simulation of process governing leachate occurrence and subsequent transport, and investigates its migration away from the landfill to control environmental adverse effects on a deep aquifer. Materials and Methods: The landfill examined in this study was an area of 240 ha and received 500 ton/day of solid waste generated fro...
متن کاملInvestigation of the Origin of Hexavalent Chromium in a Greek Ophiolitic Aquifer
High levels of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) in groundwater are typically attributed to anthropogenic sources. However, scientific reports over the last decade have demonstrated that relatively high levels of Cr(VI) in groundwater may also be due to natural processes. Cr(VI) is among the most significant groundwater contaminants, since it is a potential carcinogenic compound that is commonly fou...

Publication 1. A. Manceau et al, “Quantitative Zn speciation in smelter-contaminated soils by EXAFS spectroscopy,” Am. J. Sci. (in press, 2000). Figure 3 (top) Soil samples were taken at several depths from a contaminated site. (bottom) Model compounds derived from polarized-EXAFS data at the ESRF and μ-EXAFS data at the ALS provide a good fit with powder-EXAFS spectra from a soil sample, there...
