this study illustrates the process of removal of chromium from chrome tanning waste-water by fly ash which was drive from chrome shaving dust. this experiment was carried out in a batch process with laboratory prepared adsorbent samples and chrome tanning water collected from local tanneries. the influence of various factors likes adsorbent doses, contact time, and initial concentration of chro...

In the course of utilization of moso bamboo, some fractions are not effectively utilized due to the weakness in mechanical properties. Only a part of these residues are recovered for energy production or made into activated carbon; the remainder are discarded resulting in environment pollution (Mui et al., 2008). As the bamboo residue is a kind of polysaccharides-rich lignocellulosic material, ...

The resistivity, complex resistivity and complex permittivity of the chrome-contaminated soil were studied. Under the different pollution concentration and water content in the soil samples conditions, the relations between the resistivity, complex resistivity and complex permittivity of the chrome-contaminated soil and water content and the concentration of pollution were analyzed. When adding...

IMDb is a widely known online movie platform that offers movie information, allows to rate movies and recommends interesting movies to users. The IMDb movie recommendations do not however offer any means for interactivity or user control, which inherently limits their contextual adaptability. In this work we describe our Google Chrome extension – called MovieBrain – which offers interactive mov...

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 potential of Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) transmission spectroscopy for determination of lead chrome green in green tea was investigated based on chemometric methods. Firstly, the qualitative analysis of lead chrome green in tea was performed based on partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), and the correct rate of classification was 100%. And then, a hybrid method of int...

Modern web browsers are ubiquitously used by billions of users, connecting them to the world wide web. From the other side, web browsers do not only provide a unified interface for businesses to reach customers, but they also provide a unified interface for malicious actors to reach users. The highly optimized scripting language JavaScript plays an important role in the modern web, as well as f...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Excessive wear of acetabular liners in hip replacements may lead to osteolysis and cup loosening. Different head materials are currently used. We measured differences in wear between alumina and cobalt-chrome heads with the same polyethylene liner. PATIENTS AND METHODS 39 patients (43 hips) with osteoarthritis were included in a study with 10-year follow-up. Wear was me...

This work demonstrates that a version of the Reduction Expansion Synthesis (RES) process, Cr-RES, can create a micron scale Cr coating on an iron wire. The process involves three steps. I. A paste consisting of a physical mix of urea, chrome nitrate or chrome oxide, and water is prepared. II. An iron wire is coated by dipping. III. The coated, and dried, wire is heated to ~800 °C for 10 min in ...
