TL;DR: In this paper, the polymerization process of aniline, o-anthranilic acid as well as a polyaniline/anthranlic acid using K2Cr2O7 was investigated.
Abstract: Oxidative polymerization of aniline, anthranilic acid, and aniline-co-anthranilic acid by potassium dichromate Cr(VI) as an oxidant in acidic medium was investigated. In this study, the polymerization process of aniline, o-anthranilic acid as well as aniline/o-anthranlic acid using K2Cr2O7 produced, coordinated Cr(III)/polyaniline (PANI), Cr(III)/polyanthranilic acid (PAA) and Cr(III)/poly aniline-co-anthranilic acid (PANAA). The mechanism of polymerization reaction in the presence of dichromate was hypothesized. The precursor chromium doped polymers were characterized by TGA, FT-IR, UV-visible, XRD analyses. Cr2O3 nanoparticles size were determined using TEM analysis. The calcinations process of synthesized chromium doped PANI, PAA and PANAA yields Cr2O3 nanoparticles 26%, 31%, and 34% wt. respectively. Rhombohedral phase of Cr2O3 particles in the range from 33 to 61 nm was produced from chromium/polyanthranilic acid (PAA) and chromium/poly(aniline-co-anthranilic acid) PANAA. UV- visible analysis showed that optical band gaps (Eg) of doped poly aniline and its derivatives are in the range from1.55 to 1.80 using Tacu's law. The band gap values reveal that the doped chromium emeraldine base can be used as semiconductor materials. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

TL;DR: Delamination and pre-expansion phenomena were observed only for nitric acid, sodium chlorate, and hydrogen peroxide, while the presence of strong oxidizers led to stable graphite intercalation compounds.
Abstract: Different chemical formulations for the synthesis of highly intercalated graphite bisulfate have been tested. In particular, nitric acid, potassium nitrate, potassium dichromate, potassium permanganate, sodium periodate, sodium chlorate, and hydrogen peroxide have been used in this synthesis scheme as the auxiliary reagent (oxidizing agent). In order to evaluate the presence of delamination, and pre-expansion phenomena, and the achieved intercalation degree in the prepared samples, the obtained graphite intercalation compounds have been characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), micro-Raman spectroscopy (μ-RS), and thermal analysis (TGA). Delamination and pre-expansion phenomena were observed only for nitric acid, sodium chlorate, and hydrogen peroxide, while the presence of strong oxidizers (KMnO4, K2Cr2O7) led to stable graphite intercalation compounds. The largest content of intercalated bisulfate is achieved in the intercalated compounds obtained from NaIO4 and NaClO3.

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of buffered ferric chloride (FC) as terminal electron acceptor (TEA) in a dual chamber microbial fuel cell (DCMFC) was studied.
Abstract: Electrochemical behaviour of buffered ferric chloride (FC) was studied as terminal electron acceptor (TEA) in a dual chamber microbial fuel cell (DCMFC). The DCMFC was operated in batch mode using lactate as substrate and enriched consortium of sulphate reducing and sulphur oxidising bacteria as anodic biocatalysts. To characterise the TEA in terms of open circuit voltage and power density, four DCMFCs were operated individually under similar anodic operating conditions with phosphate buffer (PB), potassium hexacyanoferrate (PF), potassium dichromate (PD) and FC. Results showed that voltage and power generation with FC were highest among the four TEAs. Performance of the four tested buffered catholytes was found to be in the following order: ferric chloride (857 mV; 308.7 mW/m 2 ) > potassium hexacyanoferrate (571 mV; 222 mW/m 2 ) > potassium dichromate (517 mV; 168.6 mW/m 2 ) > phosphate buffer solution (250 mV; 16.87 mW/m 2 ). With the addition of potassium dichromate, potassium hexacyanoferrate and ferric chloride to phosphate buffer, charge transfer resistance (R ct ) declined by 67%, 52.2% and 51.8%, respectively. Ohmic resistance decreased by 36%, 41.6% and 37.6%, respectively. Electrical conductivity of the leachate after coagulation with ferric chloride increased from an initial of 2.54–7.96 mS thus further supporting the decreased resistance. Further, with no optimization, 50 mM/L of ferric chloride could remove 68.3% of COD having initial value of 9600 mg/L in the cathode chamber.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new, simple, and sensitive spectrometric method was developed for hydroquinone (HQ) determination in the presence of other depigmenting agents (kojic acid, glycolic acid (GA), and ascorbic acid) commonly introduced in skin lightening products.
Abstract: A new, simple, and sensitive spectrometric method was developed for hydroquinone (HQ) determination in the presence of other depigmenting agents (kojic acid (KA), glycolic acid (GA), and ascorbic acid (AA)), commonly introduced in skin lightening products. The method is based on the oxidation of the depigmenting agents by potassium dichromate in sulfuric acid medium and subsequent measurement of the amplitude of the first-order derivative absorption spectrum at 268 nm. By applying the zero-crossing method, at this wavelength, the oxidation products of KA, AA, and GA do not interfere in the indirect determination of HQ. Beer’s law was obeyed in the range of 0.22–22 μg·mL−1 HQ, with a detection limit of 0.07 μg·mL−1. The developed method was applied with good results for the first time to the rapid determination of HQ in binary, ternary, and quaternary mixtures, thus proving that it could represent an effective tool for various skin lightening products analyses.

TL;DR: Results show that [Cr(VI)] upregulates the generation of reactive oxygen species and, as a consequence, the cellular antioxidant defences are compromised and the resulting oxidative stress may contribute to Cr(VI)-induced cellular damage.
Abstract: The toxicity of hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] in biological systems is thought to be closely associated with the generation of free radicals and reactive oxygen species These species are produced when Cr(VI) is reduced to its trivalent form in the cell This process results in oxidative stress due to an imbalance between the detoxifying ability of the cell and the production of free radicals We have studied the effect of potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7), a [Cr(VI)] compound, on the antioxidant power of human erythrocytes and lymphocytes under in vitro conditions Incubation of erythrocytes and lymphocytes with different concentrations of K2Cr2O7 resulted in a marked dose-dependent decrease in reduced glutathione and an increase in oxidized glutathione and reactive oxygen species levels The antioxidant power of the cells was decreased, as determined by metal reducing and free radical quenching assays These results show that [Cr(VI)] upregulates the generation of reactive oxygen species and, as a consequence, the cellular antioxidant defences are compromised The resulting oxidative stress may contribute to Cr(VI)-induced cellular damage

Abstract: The use of animals as bioindicators has been useful, especially in the evaluation of environmental impact of pollutant discharges in aquatic ecosystems. This study, aims to assess the fish Phalloceros caudimaculatus (known as Guaru) as a heavy metal sbioindicator. LC50 (96 h) acute toxicity tests to potassium dichromate salts, cadmium nitrate, lead II nitrate and zinc sulfate, and bioaccumulation of metals such as cadmium, chromium, lead and zinc were conducted. In the bioaccumulation test, for three months standard tanks were used, with different contamination levels above the levels set by local law, a pollution control tank was also set. The following data was obtained in acute toxicity tests LC50 (96 h): Potassium dichromate 164.58 ± 18.75 mg/L, Cadmium nitrate was 29.5 ± 1.21 mg/L, Lead nitrate was 15.5 ± 0.47 mg/L and zinc sulfate was 62.8 ± 2.81 mg/L. The bioconcentration factor (BCF) maintained the order Zn > Pb > Cd > Cr, where the resulting values were considered high for the four elements ranging from 92.4 (Cr) to 1793.1 (Zn). Based on the test results, the Guaru fish proved resistant to the presence of these metals and a showed a high bioaccumulation rate. Thus, it can be used as a bioindicator of heavy metals.

TL;DR: This study highlights freezing at −20 °C to be the most suitable condition for preservation followed by K dichromate at 4 °C, K dichrome at RT, then 70% ethyl alcohol, and formalin is better to be avoided.
Abstract: Background: We aimed to evaluate different copro-preservation conditions along the duration of one month for a better outcome of molecular diagnosis of Cryptosporidium species. Methods: Ten samples out of 380 fresh stool samples collected from patients with diarrhea proved positive after direct examination, concentration, staining and confirmed by immunochromatographic test. The study was conducted at the Diagnostic and Research Unit of Parasitic diseases, Faculty of Medicine, Ain Shams University at the time interval from July 2014 to December 2015. Each stool sample was preserved in five different conditions; freezing at -20 oC, 70% ethyl alcohol, 10% formalin, 2.5% potassium dichromate (K dichromate) at 4 oC and 2.5% K dichromate at room temperature (RT). Then DNA extraction and nested PCR, with Cryptosporidium oocyst wall protein (COWP) gene were done from each sample at zero time (fresh specimens) as a standard for comparison with the preservation conditions at 10, 20 and 30 d. Results: Sensitivity of studied preservative conditions along the whole study duration showed best outcome from freezing at -20 °C (80%) then K dichromate (4 °C) (73.3%) followed by K dichromate (RT) (66.7%), then alcohol (33.3%), while formalin was the worst (0%) with a highly significant comparative outcome between the different conditions. Along the three extraction intervals, K dichromate (RT), unlike all the rest of conditions lacks the consistent preservative action. Conclusion: Our study highlights freezing at -20 oC to be the most suitable condition for preservation followed by K dichromate at 4 °C, K dichromate at RT, then 70% ethyl alcohol. Formalin (10%) is better to be avoided.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the impact of boric acid and potassium dichromate on the status of lipid peroxidation (LPO) and the antioxidant system (AOS).
Abstract: Background: Modern ecological situation is characterized by significant impairments as a result of adverse human influence. In this connection, it becomes necessary to study the negative effects of substances on living organisms and ways to reduce them. Objective: This article evaluated the impact of potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) and boric acid (H3BO3) on the status of lipid peroxidation (LPO) and antioxidant system (AOS). Methods: The work is performed on 24 male rats of Wistar weighing 180 g to 220 g, were grown in the vivarium of the Central research laboratory of West Kazakhstan state medical University named after Marat Ospanov (Aktobe, Republic of Kazakhstan). Results: An experiment on Wistar rats: 1st-warning; 2nd-received K2Cr2O7; 3rd-H3BO3; 4th-K2Cr2O7 and H3BO. The introduction of K2Cr2O7 intensified LPO and reduced activity of catalase, glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase, the number of sulfhydryl groups. In the group treated with H3BO3-LPO inhibition, activation of AOS. Combined injection of K2Cr2O7 and H3BO3 reduces the content of malondialdehyde, increases the number sulfhydryl groups compared to the group "K2Cr2O7". Conclusions: The results of the study allow asserting that the H3BO3 in the conditions of joint use with K2Cr2O7 has an antioxidant effect, which leads to inhibition of LPO and activation of antioxidant system. Therefore, we first established the antioxidant effect of boric acid in the combined effects of potassium dichromate and boric acid. Our study shows that boric acid when co administered orally with potassium dichromate inhibits the development of chromium-induced oxidative stress in the tissue blood. Based on its efficacy are inhibition of lipid peroxidation and increase antioxidant defense in the blood.

TL;DR: In this paper, a 3-step chemiluminescence (CL) chemical oxygen demand (COD) method based on the principle of the permanganate COD (JIS K0102), was developed (3-step CL CODCr method).
Abstract: In this study, the use of potassium dichromate as an oxidizing reagent in the 3-step chemiluminescence (CL) chemical oxygen demand (COD) method, based on the principle of the permanganate COD (CODMn) method (JIS K0102), was developed (3-step CL CODCr method). The sample reacted with an excess of dichromate under heating, and the remaining dichromate was neutralized by a reducing organic compound. Then, the remaining amount of the reducing organic compound was detected in the CL detector using permanganate CL reagent. Six organic compounds – gallic acid, phenol, pyrocatechol, ascorbic acid, pyrogallol, and potassium hydrogen phthalate – were investigated as the reducing organic compounds. The CL kinetics of these compounds with acidic permanganate reagent were studied, and pyrogallol showed the highest signal with the fastest relevant response. Hence, pyrogallol was chosen as the reducing organic compound. The enhancement effects of seven metal ions – Cr(III), Mn(II), Cu(II), Ag(I), Fe(II), Fe(III), and Mg(II) – were investigated. The results showed that Cr(III), Mn(II), Fe(II), and Fe(III) enhanced the signal. Fe(II) and Fe(III) showed the highest enhancement effects, in which the signals increased to 188% and 205%, respectively. However, Fe(II) made the permanganate reagent become less stable due to the reaction between Fe(II) and permanganate and the enhancement decreased significantly with time. Hence, Fe(III) was added to the permanganate reagent at the optimum concentration of 0.45 mmol dm−3. The correlation between the 3-step CL CODCr method and the conventional CODMn for several organic compounds showed a good determination coefficient R2 = 0.9594 (n = 16). The limit of detection was 0.083 mg L−1, using gallic acid as a standard. The method was applied to measurement of river water samples, obtaining results in good correlation with the CODMn method.

TL;DR: It is shown that handling of a chromium‐containing disc resulted in chromium deposition on the skin, and chromium coatings on metal alloys can be decorative, and prevent corrosion and metal ion release.
Abstract: SummaryBackground Chromium coatings on metal alloys can be decorative, and prevent corrosion and metal ion release. We recently showed that handling of a chromium-containing disc resulted in chromium deposition on the skin. Objectives To examine patch test reactivity to chromium-coated discs. Methods We included 15 patients: 10 chromium-allergic patients, and 5 patients without chromium allergy. All were patch tested with potassium dichromate, cobalt chloride, nickel sulfate, and nine different metallic discs. The chromium-allergic patients were also patch tested with serial dilutions of potassium dichromate. Results Positive/weaker reactions were observed to disc B (1 of 10), disc C (1 of 10), and disc D, disc E, and disc I (4 of 10 each). As no controls reacted to any of the discs, the weak reactions indicate allergic reactions. Positive patch test reactions to 1770 ppm chromium(VI) in the serial dilutions of potassium dichromate were observed in 7 of 10 patients. When the case group was narrowed down to include only the patients with a current positive patch test reaction to potassium dichromate, elicitation of dermatitis by both chromium(III) and chromium(VI) discs was observed in 4 of 7 of patients. Conclusions Many of the patients reacted to both chromium(III) and chromium(VI) surfaces. Our results indicate that both chromium(VI) and chromium(III) pose a risk to chromium-allergic patients.
