The anthropic impacts on the environment, its perception and prevention are constant objects of studies aimed at improving quality life. Within this comprehensive area, process galvanization for metals generated waste was evaluated here, because is an effective alternative in protection against corrosion, also a good ally useful life metal parts although practical profitable, generates huge vol...

Electroplating remains an attractive deposition approach for fabricating metal microspherical targets inertial confinement fusion because of its relatively fast rates and ability to produce full-density small grain coatings. Here, we discuss recent advances that allow coating thick (>60 µm) leak-free gold capsules with gradients silver. We present a new apparatus used electroplating hollow (typ...

Electroplating sludge (ES) is currently disposed in landfills and, because of its heavy metal content, poses serious threats to the environment and human health. However, ES might have potential use as colouring agent due high concentration chromium nickel. Thus, present work aims at studying effect incorporation into stoneware bodies. The influence on final characteristics fired samples, amoun...

Implantable microelectrode arrays (MEAs) have been a boon for neural stimulation and recording experiments. Commercially available MEAs have high impedances, due to their low surface area and small tip diameters, which are suitable for recording single unit activity. Lowering the electrode impedance, but preserving the small diameter, would provide a number of advantages, including reduced stim...

Chromium, especially chromium (VI), is the main pollutant of the tannery and electroplating industries. Cr (VI) is said to be a hazardous pollutant as it is highly toxic, mutagenic as well a carcinogen. Cr (VI) is mobile as it is soluble in nature. In our present study, indigenous bacteria that are tolerant to high concentrations of Cr (VI) were isolated from chromium contaminated electroplatin...

rocess and quality control are exP tremely important in achieving optimum production and they have a special place in continuously operating processes. Real-time process monitoring is the comerstone of maintaining an efficient electroplating process. For the steel industry, zinc and nickel electroplating processes used for anticorrosion treatmentl must be monitored to maintain certain standards...

Infection-related complications have been a critical issue for the application of titanium orthopedic implants. The use of Ag nanoparticles offers a potential approach to incorporate antimicrobial properties into the titanium implants. In this work, a novel and simple method was developed for synthesis of Ag (II) oxide deposited TiO2 nanotubes (TiNTs) using electrochemical anodization followed ...

Polyethylene glycol (PEG) used as a brightening and stabilization agent at the concentration of 30 mg dm(-3) is a major organic additive in the copper electroplating solution. Activated carbon, Calgon Filtrasob 400, is used as the adsorbent to remove the PEG from the used electroplating solution in order to broaden the appeal of recycling it. The equilibrium of adsorption is attained within 14 ...
