  2. Potassium dichromate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_dichromate

    In 2005–06, potassium dichromate was the 11th-most-prevalent allergen in patch tests (4.8%). [12] Potassium dichromate is one of the most common causes of chromium dermatitis; [13] chromium is highly likely to induce sensitization leading to dermatitis, especially of the hand and forearms, which is chronic and difficult to treat ...

  3. In situ chemical oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_situ_chemical_oxidation

    Sodium permanganate is also useful in that it can be used in places where the potassium ion cannot be used. [5] Another advantage that sodium permanganate has over potassium permanganate is that sodium permanganate, due to its high solubility, can be transported above ground as a liquid, decreasing the risk of exposure to granules or skin ...

  4. Chromic acid cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromic_acid_cell

    The chromic acid cell is a type of primary cell which uses chromic acid as a depolarizer. The chromic acid is usually made by acidifying (with sulfuric acid) a solution of potassium dichromate. The old name for potassium dichromate is potassium bichromate and the cell is often called a bichromate cell. [1]

  5. Chemical oxygen demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_oxygen_demand

    Most commonly, a 0.25 N solution of potassium dichromate is used for COD determination, although for samples with COD below 50 mg/L, a lower concentration of potassium dichromate is preferred. In the process of oxidizing the organic substances found in the water sample, potassium dichromate is reduced (since in all redox reactions, one reagent ...

  6. Dense non-aqueous phase liquid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dense_Non-Aqueous_Phase_Liquid

    A dense non-aqueous phase liquid or DNAPL is a denser-than-water NAPL, i.e. a liquid that is both denser than water and is immiscible in or does not dissolve in water. [1]The term DNAPL is used primarily by environmental engineers and hydrogeologists to describe contaminants in groundwater, surface water and sediments.

  7. Potash - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potash

    Potassium hydroxide is used for industrial water treatment and is the precursor of potassium carbonate, several forms of potassium phosphate, many other potassic chemicals, and soap manufacturing. Potassium carbonate is used to produce animal feed supplements, cement , fire extinguishers , food products, photographic chemicals , and textiles.

  8. Photographic processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photographic_processing

    This compound decomposes in the waste water stream to liberate cyanide gas. [citation needed] Other popular bleach solutions use potassium dichromate (a hexavalent chromium) or permanganate. Both ferricyanide and dichromate are tightly regulated for sewer disposal from commercial premises in some areas.

  9. Jardine Water Purification Plant - Wikipedia

    Together the two plants supply water to about 3 million households in the city and 118 suburbs. [ 3 ] Filtration methods used by the Jardine Water Plant is extraction and adding chemical additives; with the use of sand and gravel to filter the water, while the chemical additives being fluoride to fight off tooth decay, phosphates to avoid ...
