Chromate and the Environment: Removal and Utilization of Industrial Waste J. Chem. Chem. Eng. 10 (2016) 147-152 doi: 10.17265/1934-7375/2016.03.006 D DAVID PUBLISHING Chromate and the Environment: Removal and Utilization of Industrial Waste Fernando B. Mainier, Pedro Paulo B. Leite, Marcone F. Reis and Thiago Teobaldo Silva Engineering School, Federal Fluminense University(UFF), Niterói, Rio de Janeiro 24220-261, Brazil Abstract: Chromate and dichromate sodium as a function of oxidizer characteristics are used in several industrial areas; for example, in surface protection of coated parts of cadmium, zinc and aluminum (chromate coated treated), corrosion inhibitors, the treatment of leather, the manufacture of pigments, etc. However, the use of such products has been questioned due to the problems of toxicity and pollution that can be caused in the environmental. The Brazilian environmental agency has established that the concentrations of 2- chromate in water courses are less than 0.5 ppm. In order to reuse chromate (CrO4 ) from industrial effluent, laboratory experiments have been proposed based on chemical reduction or electrolytic processes, in order to transform these chromate ions in a final mix of oxides (in solid form), which can then be packed and sent to the production process of sodium chromate. The results of these experiments have become useful industrially (without regard to costs) considering the environmental reuse and the life cycle of the chemical compound. Key words: Chromate, dichromate, contamination, chemical reduction, electrolytic process. 1. Introduction waste, among others [1, 2]. In order to individualize the problem of Industrial production processes, especially chemical contamination of workers and environmental pollution, ones, continue to exert strong pressure on the chromate and dichromate are highlighted, usually environment, in view of the inherent risks of their called hexavalent chromium compounds, because, due manufacturing processes in e.g.: the security industry, to their oxidizing characteristics, such products are used contamination, tailings, effluent, packaging, reuse, in various industry segments. Certain studies have recycling, toxic metals and toxic waste, which often argued that such products are harmful to human health, get confused or are interlinked. because contact can promote dermatitis, and inhalation Large industrial complexes such as oil and gas and ingestion promote irritation and ulceration in the production, petrochemical metallurgical industries, for intestines, stomach and the risk of lung cancer [3-5]. the most part, become polluters and end up having an Fig. 1 presents chromite ore (FeO·Cr2O3) that is the impact upon the world with their waste, becoming main raw material for applications in different enemies of society, sustainability and man himself. industries, such as: 76% for production of chromium They give the impression of not taking precautions in and chromium alloys [6, 7]; 13% for refractory bricks relation to the present or the future, according to leaks, and 11% for chemicals [8-10]. accidents and disasters that occur in various parts of Currently, chromite ore is extracted and purified in the world. Some of these disasters can be associated South Africa (39%), India (16%), Kazakhstan (15%), with obsolete technologies and the direct or indirect and other countries as Brazil, Finland, Oman, Russia use of recycling or recovery of packaging and toxic and Turkey (representing 21%).

Globally, roughly 11% of chromite ore and chrome generated. It is believed that the treatment or waste are intended for the production of chemical processing of waste should be carried out by those compounds, mainly: chromic oxide (CrO3) for companies that generate the source of pollution chromium plating, sodium chromate (Na2CrO4), (segregated treatment), because usually a great effort sodium dichromate (Na2Cr2O7), lead chromate is accompanied by high cost of treatment to recover (PbCrO4), chrome alum (KCr(SO4)2·12H2O), etc. The the final system when, in fact, it is contaminated [1, 15]. quality of these products depends on the origin of the The reactions for obtaining sodium chromate and raw material and industrial processing; therefore, the industrial sodium dichromate from chromite ore are treatment of waste and the final disposal of this waste presented below: 4FeO.Cr O + 8Na CO + 7O → in landfill are both essential. 2 3 2 3 2 2Fe O + 8 Na CrO + 8CO (1) In this industrial scenario, application of the rules 2 3 2 4 2 2Na CrO + H SO → and regulations of Clean Technologies [1, 12] and the 2 4 2 4 Na Cr O + Na SO + H O (2) premises of LCA [13, 14] of materials (i.e. from the 2 2 7 2 4 2 cradle to the grave from raw materials to final landfill) To illustrate the use of segregated waste treatment, are important bases of environmental sustainability the use of chromate as a corrosion inhibitor in a and human health protection from the toxicity of such cooling system was chosen. Generally, the chromate 2- products. concentration (CrO4 ) can vary from 50-600 mg/L Clean technologies should be established in order to depending on the operating conditions and the water meet the demands for sustainability and to ensure that used, mainly in relation to the content of chloride the environment, public health, worker safety, and the (Cl-). safety of the inhabitants surrounding industrial To evaluate the removal and reuse of chromate, in complexes are protected using methods that reduce the form of “chromite”, double oxide of iron (II) and energy, and programs that reuse or recover raw (III) chromium (4FeO·Cr2O3) were selected two materials, in order to reduce the amount of waste processes. Chromate and the Environment: Removal and Utilization of Industrial Waste 149 The first is based on chemical reduction using 2.

Methods for extraction and analysis of chromium metal were developed and established. Analysis were carried out using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) to estimate the contents of chromium, iron, calcium, and magnesium. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) was used to evaluate the levels of chromium, iron, and calcium in the ore. Volumetric analysis was performed to assess chromium and iron, whilst gravimetric analysis was employed to measure the amounts of calcium, magnesium, aluminum and silicon present in the ore. The data was chemically and statistically analyzed to compare the results obtained by the given analytical methods. The results are in good agreement except iron oxide, which displayed a significantly different value when measured by x-ray fluorescence. The data obtained exhibited similarity in almost all cases, when compared with local and global researches, reports, and literature. The study has revealed the average contents of Cr2O3, FeO, CaO, MgO, A12O3, and SiO2 as 40.66. 11.96, 11.94. 0.36. 16.94, 11.45% respectively. MnO and NiO were detected in trace amounts, the corresponding levels in the ore being 72 and 27 ppm. The average chromium content in extracted potassium dichromate measured by using AAS, XRF, and volumetric methods was found to be 31.7%.
