Study on Chrome Muds (1)

On the Energy Levels of Chrome Alum

On cobalt-chrome frameworks in implant dentistry.

BACKGROUND Cobalt-chrome (CoCr) alloys have been used in dentistry in decades but very little is known about their behavior and biological impact as framework materials in implant dentistry. Furthermore, few studies have evaluated and compared the clinical and radiological results of abutment and abutment-free implant treatment concepts. AIMS To investigate in vitro CoCr and commercially pure...

Collaborative Networked Communication: MUDs as Systems Tools

A systems administration group is only as effective as its internal communication mechanisms. On-line communication has traditionally been managed via electronic mail or news, which are neither real-time nor truly collaborative. Communication tools which let multiple parties work together in real-time have become widespread on the Internet in the last several years. In an effort to keep a physi...

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...
