Title: Particle Emissions from Chrome Plating
Author: Pilat, Michael J.

Contents: Aerosol particles formed from the bursting of small gas bubbles emitted from the anode and cathode electrodes during electrolytic chrome plating were measured with a laboratory apparatus. The measured aerosol particle emission factors were about 5.15 mg particles/amp-hour or 3.81 mg Cr+ 6/amp hour. The cathode gases generated more particles on a gas volume basis with 20 mg particles/liter hydrogen gas evolved from the cathode compared to 1 mg particles/liter oxygen gas evolved from the anode. With about 35% more cathode hydrogen gas evolved than anode oxygen gas evolved and with the much greater particle emissions caused by the cathode hydrogen on a gas volumetric basis, the aerosol particle emissions from the cathode bubble bursting were about 97% of the total particle mass emissions. The particle size distributions measured from the cathode had a mass median aerodynamic diameter of about 38 μ m whereas the anode mass median particle diameter was about 8 μ m. The anode particle mass size distribution was bimodal with peaks at about 0.6 and 24 μ m diameter. The cathode particle mass size distribution was trimodal with peaks at 2.5, 9, and about 60 μ m diameter.
