Due to the industrial restrictions in place across some the main areas of the world under health and safety regulations, finding an alternative plating process to the current hexavalent chromium process has become a real necessity. Trivalent chromium has proved to be a suitable replacement due to being less toxic, both health-wise and environmentally, whilst also demonstrating almost identical metal finishes to those of the hexavalent chromium deposits. However, the trivalent chromium chemical process

Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Background Nanotechnology is a field of applied science, focused on the design, synthesis, characterization and application of materials and devices at the nanoscale. This is an emerging field which plays a major role in the development of innovative methods to produce new products. Because of its greater role in enhancing the performance of several existing technologies, it is gaining high attention. Properties of materials often change dramatically when size reduces

of the main drawbacks of this type of biocathode is the crossover of oxygen from the cathodic to the anodic chamber in MFCs, which promotes the loss of electrons and the activity of a biofilm on the anode electrode. However, this drawback may be eliminated with a desalination chamber between the anode and cathode

4. Describe the procedure for extracting copper from one of its ores. Include relevant chemical reactions, equations and energy considerations involved. Extraction of copper from chalcopyrite (CuFe2) occurs using processes such as: mining & crushing, froth flotation, roasting & smelting and electrolytic refining. Mining the ore Copper ore contains approximately 0.5% copper and 99.5% unwanted rock. To help separate the mineral copper from the gangue (sand, rock and other impurities), the ore

The dye extracts obtained in the preceding subsection will be purified by solvent extraction. In this method, equal volumes of ethyl acetate will be added to the concentrated dye extracts. The mixture will then be shaken for a few minutes and put in a separating funnel. A settled solution will have two layers in which the lower layer is the layer of interest. The layer contains mainly anthocyanins. The separation of the two layers will be done using a separating funnel. The process will be repeated

Electricity is the directional flow of electrons between atoms. Electricity is a natural phenomenon and is one of the most commonly utilized forms of energy. Electricity is used in order to do work, such as generating heat and light. Electricity is measured in watts. Watts are the measurement of power (current * voltage). Current is the flow of electrons measured in amperes (Amps). One ampere is the amount of current when one coulomb (6.25 x 10^18 electrons) of charge moves past a point over one

Electrolysis is the direct passing of an electric current that follows through an ionic substance that is molten or dissolved in a suitable solvent, which makes electrodes and separated materials. Electrolysis begins when an electrical current flows out of one pole of energy into one electrode, which is called the cathode. Electrolysis occurs when electrical energy is used to produce a chemical change. Sulfuric acid, also known as ( H2SO4) , is commonly used in Electrolysis (Net Industries). Electrolysis

Tantalum Electrolytic Capacitor Construction The tantalum power undergoes a process called pressing. This mean that the powder is mixed with binder to make sure the particles will stick together when pressed to form the anode which will flow into press tool smoothly. A high pressure condition is applied to the tantalum powder around a tantalum wire to form tantalum slug. The binder is removed by heating the slug under vacuum and high temperature for a few minutes. Next process is sintering, the tantalum

MDCs. Each MDC consists of one anion exchange membrane (AEM) tube inside the cation exchange membrane (CEM) tube. Two ways of parallel connections of the MDC were investigated. One way was via combined connection whereby all the anodes or cathodes are connected to form one anode or cathode (total 1

How has the extraction of copper changed the course of history? Copper (Chemical symbol Cu, Atomic number 29), is one of the best electrical conductors in all metals, has influenced the use of telecommunications throughout the world. We rely on copper for a lot of things - power, heating, lighting, transport, communication, and even coinage. The wide application of copper in our daily lives has made our homes, schools and businesses pleasant, decorative and efficient but also has created negative
