The objective of this program was to investigate the feasibility of bound liquid ion exchange membrane systems for removal and recovery of chromate from plating rinse waters, thereby conserving an important resource and minimizing harmful chromate effluent levels. Experimental, techniques employed liquid- liquid extraction and simple membrane immersion to assess candidate ion- exchange liquids, followed by chro- mate transport measurements in membrane test cells using simulated chromate rinse solutions. The transport process is chemically driven by passage of some counterion in the opposite direction; counter ions studied included basic chloride, phosphate and carbonate solution. E. Chloride and carbonate are both...

In an effort to utilize domestic low -grade resources to extract chromium, Mouat chromite concentrates from Stillwater Complex in Montana were subjected to a sodium hydroxide or caustic soda roast and water leach bench scale method. Although the soda roasting method has been known for quite some time, there are some problems associated with the roast- ing, particularly with lower-grade chromites with lattice and gangue impurities. Using advanced electron -optical and X -ray micro- and macro- analytical techniques, the mech- anisms occurring in the soda roasting step have been revealed. The roasting step is the key to this overall process, and the rate limiting steps have been identified, allowing substantial improvements...
The Marcellus Shale Energy and Environment Laboratory (MSEEL) site is a long-term field site and laboratory at the Northeast Natural Energy LLC (NNE) production facility, adjacent to the Monongahela River, located in western Monongalia County, West Virginia, USA. NNE began drilling two horizontal production wells, MIP (Morgantown Industrial Park) -5H and MIP-3H, in the Marcellus Shale in 2014. The wells were completed in December 2015. Large volumes of wastewater are generated with natural gas production. These wastewaters contain organic and inorganic chemical constituents from fracturing fluids used during drilling and stimulation of gas in host rocks/shale, as well as chemical compounds that are derived from...
These data on the concentrations of 27 selected elements were collected using a field portable (handheld) X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) instrument (Groover and Izbicki, 2016) equipped with a 4-watt Ta/Au X-ray tube on samples of 1) surficial alluvium, 2) rock, and 3) archived core material and drill cuttings from monitoring wells across an approximately 14,300 square kilometer area in the western part of the Mojave Desert, between 60 to 210 kilometers (km) northeast of Los Angeles, California. These samples were measured using a pXRF as part of a regional-scale investigation of naturally-occurring trace elements (including arsenic, chromium, and uranium) dissolved in groundwater (Groover and Izbicki, 2018), and a local-scale...
