Study of the Utilization of Chromium Plating Waste by Mechanical Activation

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, the production of metallic chromium via metallothermic process was investigated. A chromium oxide-rich residue from chromium plating industry was characterized. Aluminothermic reduction was performed in lab-scale using an open graphite crucible. The plating residue and the aluminum powder were processed in a SPEX mill, in order to promote its effective mixing and mechanical activation. Energy dispersive X-Ray (EDX) analyses in the scanning electron microscope (SEM) have shown the presence of metallic chromium in the reaction products.
