Effluents from metal-finishing plants have the potential of discharging undesirable quantities of metals, such as cadmium, nickel, lead, manganese, and chromium, in forms that are detrimental to water and air quality. A local metal-finishing plant has identified a wastewater stream that contains 5.15 wt% chromium (Cr) and devised the following approach to lowering risk and recovering the valuable metal. The wastewater stream is fed to a treatment unit that removes 95% of the chromium in the feed and recycles it to
the plant. The residual liquid stream leaving the treatment unit is sent to a w aste lagoon. The treatment unit has a maximum capacity of4500 kg wastewater/h. If wastewater leaves the finishing plant at a rate higher than the capacity of the treatment unit, the excess (anything above 4500 kg/h) bypasses the unit and combines with the residual liquid leaving the unit, and the combined stream goes to the waste lagoon.

- Hydrogen peroxide solutions can easily be decomposed by dust, trace amounts of metals or light. It istherefore necessary to periodically determine the purity of the peroxide solutions.This can be done via a redox titration as follows: The density of a particular surgical grade hydrogen peroxide solution is 1.11g.cm-3. Exactly 10 mL of this solution was pipetted and quantitatively transferred, along with a sufficientamount of a dilute sulphuric acid solution, into a 250.00 mL volumetric flask and made up to the mark. A 25.00 mL portion of this diluted solution is pipetted into a conical flask, and titrated with a0.372 M KMnO4 solution. The endpoint of the titration is determined when the colourless solution in the conical flask turns apersistent bright pink due to the presence of excess permanganate ions. The average titration value is 26.20 mL of the KMnO4 solution 1.Determine the percentage of the hydrogen peroxide in the solution sample.2.
