in this study, the adsorption of hexavalent chromium and zinc ions from the solution is investigated by raw red mud and mechanical-chemical activated red mud along with the possibility of selective reclamation of these ions from the solution. the mechanical-chemical activation of red mud was done by employing high-energy milling and subsequent acid treatment with hno3. raw red mud (rrm) and mec...

introduction: in electroplating processes, hexavalent chromium mist is emitted in air. hexavalent chromium mist can cause lung cancer and nasal septum in workers. as permissible exposure limit (pel) of hexavalent chromium is low (0.5 µg/m 3 ) and it is used in various industries, evaluation of workers exposure to hexavalent chromium is very important. however, hexavalent chromium is relatively ...

The marked affinity of erythrocytes for hexavalent chromate anion was reported in 1950 by Gray and Sterling (1). Since then, erythrocytes labeled with radioactive sodium chromate have been used extensively for the determination of erythrocyte survival in vivo (1-5) and the determination of blood volume (4-6). The anionic hexavalent form of chromium is bound firmly to erythrocytes, is not reutil...

background: great concern about occupational exposure to chromium (cr [vi]) has been reported due to escalated risk of lung cancer in exposed workers. consequences of occupational exposure to cr (vi) have been reported as oxidative stress and lung tissue damage. objective: to investigate the feasibility of biological effect monitoring of chrome electroplaters through analysis of serum malondial...

PURPOSE In this study, a novel and ecological alternative have been developed to treat soils contaminated with hexavalent chromium coupling two well-known systems: electrokinetic remediation and permeable reactive biobarriers. The electric field promotes the electromigration of the hexavalent chromium oxyanions towards the anode. The biobarriers were placed before the anode electrode, in order ...

Hexavalent chromium (VI) compounds are widely used in industry, while trivalent chromium (III) is used as a nutritional supplement. CrVI is generally considered more toxic and carcinogenic than its trivalent form and the toxicity of this metal is associated with free radical processes generating reactive oxygen species (ROS). The detailed mechanism of ROS formation by chromium and its compounds...

Healthy specimens of Colisa fasciatus exposed to sub lethal concentration of hexavalent chromium (4.8 mg/L) for 15 days revealed no significant alterations in any testicular architecture during its different phases. However, 30 days exposure revealed distarded shape of lobule and lobular wall, scattered interstitial leydig cells during preparatory phase of testicular cycle where as during spawn...

hen the first trivalent chromium electroplating process was commercially introduced in the mid-l970s, information on the corrosion properties of the deposits and other physical properties was unknown. To obtain a comprehensive understanding about the corrosion properties of trivalent chromium electrodeposits over a variety of nickel deposits, chromium deposits from trivalent chromium electrolyt...

Backgrounds & objectives: Heavy metals, such as chromium, are the most common pollutants usually found in high concentrations in industrial wastewater and cause damages to aquatic environments and endanger the health of living organisms, especially human. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to investigate the photocatalytic removal of hexavalent chromium from aqueous solution using UV/Z...
