Aquatic life chemical treatment

The ideal disposal method is a chemical treatment that can convert hazardous waste into environmentally benign materials. For example, trichloroethylene (CI2 C I CHCl) is highly toxic to aquatic life, but this compound can be made nontoxic by chemical treatment that converts its chlorine atoms into chloride anions. Similarly, the chromium-containing waste from electroplating operations contains highly toxic CrOq anions, but a chemical treatment that converts CrOq into Cr causes the chromium to precipitate from the solution as insoluble Cr (OH). This removal of chromium detoxifies the water. [Pg.1363]
