<description descriptionType="Abstract"><p>investigate the reduction process of hexavalent chromium from electroplating wastewater by<br>
chemical precipitation in order to achieve the maximum trivalent chromium concentration.<br>
Sodium bisulphite is one of the widely used coagulants in waste water treatment process and has<br>
good reducing ability. Because of its reducing capacity, sodium bisulphite is applied to reduce<br>
hexavalent chromium from electroplating wastewater. The study has been conducted in four<br>
phases. In phase one reduction of hexavalent chromium, phase two determination of hexavalent<br>
chromium, phase three precipitation of chromium sulphate followed by oxidation of the sludge<br>
of Chromium (III) hydroxide. Phase one study was carried out to analyze the reduction process<br>
of the toxic soluble hexavalent chromium by using the concept of design experiment to justify<br>
the number of affecting factors and levels during the laboratory work followed by the synthetic<br>
waste sample preparation at Homicho Ammunition Engineering Industry in Ambo.<br>
Different experiments were considered like classical method of analysis to quantify and<br>
qualify the wastewater sample, atomic absorption spectrophotometric technique was utilized to<br>
determine the amount of total chromium, and finally colorimetric method to determine the<br>
amount of hexavalent chromium with a suitable complexing agent to engulf the ionic hexavalent<br>
Chromium. The total numbers of experiments were fifty four (54), the first twenty seven (27) run<br>
was analyzed by labeling the distributed parameters in each beaker of the solution and the<br>
number of factors with their levels were indicated. For the purpose of optimization of the<br>
selected parameters experiments were replicated, then at the second round of the experiment run<br>
number 44 was the optimized one.</p></description>
