    FACT SHEET Hexavalent Chromium (Particulate Compounds)

    FACT SHEET Hexavalent Chromium (Particulate Compounds) CAS Number: Hexavalent chromium 18540-29-9 (Please see the hexavalent chromium development support document for a list of applicable hexavalent chromium compounds) This fact sheet provides a summary of the Development Support Document (DSD) created by the TCEQ Toxicology Division (TD) for the development of Regulatory Guidelines (ESLs, AMCVs and ReVs) for ambient air exposure to this chemical. For more detailed information, please see the DSD or contact the TD by phone (1-877-992-8370) or e-mail ([email protected]). What is hexavalent chromium? Chromium can occur naturally in the environment and is found in rocks, soil, animals, and plants. The most common forms of chromium are: chromium (0) or the metal chromium, chromium III or trivalent chromium, and chromium VI or hexavalent chromium. While the metal form of chromium is used for making steel, the hexavalent and trivalent forms of chromium are used for chrome plating, dyes and pigments, leather tanning, and wood preservation. How are hexavalent chromium compounds released into ambient air? Chromium is released into the atmosphere primarily by man-made processes such as industrial, commercial, and residential fuel combustion, and via the combustion of natural gas, oil, and coal. Metal industries, such as chrome plating and steel production, are also important man-made stationary point sources of chromium emissions to air. Other potentially small sources of chromium air emissions include cement-producing plants, the incineration of municipal refuse and sewage sludge, and emissions from chromium-based automotive catalytic converters. Emissions from cooling towers that previously used chromate chemicals as rust inhibitors may also be atmospheric sources of chromium.

    Barium, Zinc and Strontium Yellows in Late 19Th–Early 20Th Century Oil Paintings Vanessa Otero1* , Marta F

    Otero et al. Herit Sci (2017) 5:46 DOI 10.1186/s40494-017-0160-3 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Barium, zinc and strontium yellows in late 19th–early 20th century oil paintings Vanessa Otero1* , Marta F. Campos1, Joana V. Pinto2, Márcia Vilarigues1, Leslie Carlyle1 and Maria João Melo1 Abstract This work focuses on the study of the 19th century yellow chromate pigments based on barium (BaCrO­ 4), zinc ­(4ZnCrO4 K2O 3H2O) and strontium ­(SrCrO4). These pigments, which are reported to shift in hue and darken, have been found· in· 19th century artworks. A better understanding of their historic manufacture will contribute to the visual/chemical interpretation of change in these colours. Research was carried out on the Winsor & Newton (W&N) 19th century archive database providing a unique insight into their manufacturing processes. One hundred and three production records were found, 69% for barium, 25% for zinc and 6% for strontium chromates, mainly under the names Lemon, Citron and Strontian Yellow, respectively. Analysis of the records shows that each pigment is charac- terised by only one synthetic pathway. The low number of records found for the production of strontium chromate suggests W&N was not selling this pigment formulation on a large scale. Furthermore, contrary to what the authors have discovered for W&N chrome yellow pigments, extenders were not added to these pigment formulations, most probably due to their lower tinting strength (TS). The latter was calculated in comparison to pure chrome yellow ­(PbCrO4, 100% TS) resulting in 92% for barium, 65% for zinc potassium and 78% for strontium chromate pigments.

The current regulation does not list chromate compounds of zinc. The new AAL recommended by the Board reflects the recognition of chromate salts of zinc as human carcinogens. The compounds listed above in the category "soluble chromate compounds" are suspect carcinogens; the AAL calculated for this classification of carcinogens is more lenient than that for their known effect in nose ulceration. Adoption of the more stringent AAL based on nose ulceration is recommended.

    SUPERPRIMER: CHROMATE FREE COATING SYSTEM for Dod

    “SUPERPRIMER”: Chromate-Free Coating System For DoD Applications A dissertation submitted to the Division of Research and Advanced Studies of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE In the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering of the College of Engineering By TRILOK RANJAN MUGADA B.Tech, Chemical Engineering Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, India, August 2001 Committee Chair: Dr. William J. van Ooij 2 ABSTRACT The idea of this research topic was to develop a novel, environmentally benign coating system for metal alloy structural components in DoD systems. The coating was chromate-free and contained little or no volatile organic compounds (VOC’s). The integrated organosilane system replaced the chromate system entirely including all chromate pretreatment and all corrosion-inhibiting chromate pigments. The complete system and also most or all of its components were water- borne. The term used to denote this particular primer is “superprimer.” This primer was based on organofunctional silanes that possess an extraordinary ability to protect metals against corrosion. The proposed work integrated organosilanes into a full water-borne coating system. The objective was to replace the current system (metal pretreatment, primer and topcoat) with no sacrifice of corrosion performance. Chapter 1 gives a brief overview on important concepts including corrosion and its control, significance of chromium in corrosion control and its use, silane technology, idea of the superprimer and the objective of this thesis. Chapter 2 gives information about the materials used for preparation of the superprimer. Procedures used for the testing and preparation of the superprimer are discussed.

  • Toxicological Profile for Zinc

    Toxicological Profile for Zinc

    ZINC 119 4. CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL INFORMATION 4.1 CHEMICAL IDENTITY Information concerning the chemical identity of elemental zinc and zinc compounds is listed in Table 4-1. Zinc is a naturally occurring element found in the earth=s surface rocks. Because of its reactivity, zinc metal is not found as the free element in nature. There are approximately 55 mineralized forms of zinc. The most important zinc minerals in the world are sphalerite (ZnS), smithsonite (ZnCO3), and hemimorphite (Zn4Si2O7(OH2)H2O). Zinc appears in Group IIB of the periodic table and has two common oxidation states, Zn(0) and Zn(+2). Zinc forms a variety of different compounds, such as zinc chloride, zinc oxide, and zinc sulfate (Goodwin 1998; Ohnesorge and Wilhelm 1991; WHO 2001). 4.2 PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Information regarding the physical and chemical properties of elemental zinc and zinc compounds is located in Table 4-2. Zinc is a lustrous, blue-white metal that burns in air with a bluish-green flame. It is stable in dry air, but upon exposure to moist air, it becomes covered with a film of zinc oxide or basic carbonate (e.g., 2ZnCO3·3Zn(OH)2) isolating the underlying metal and retarding further corrosion. Bonding in zinc compounds tends to be covalent, as in the sulfide and oxide (Goodwin 1998). In solution, four to six ligands can be coordinated with the zinc ion. Zinc has a strong tendency to react with acidic, alkaline, and inorganic compounds. Since zinc is amphoteric (i.e., capable of reacting chemically either as an acid 2- or a base), it also forms zincates (e.g., [Zn(OH)3H2O]- and [Zn(OH)4] ) (Goodwin 1998; Ohnesorge and Wilhelm 1991; WHO 2001).
