There are toxicity issues with each. So use caution and appropriate personal protection equipment if you choose to go this route. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It did not go without notice that the fellow in the video was handling parts being removed from the sodium dichromate dip with bare hands. as for the cadmium this was substituted with zinc which is also toxic especially in the form of its salts. For those that would like to plate a carburetor or other parts disposing of spent solutions should first neutralize the metal salts by raising the ph, As an alternative I use pieces of scrap iron with an aquarium bubbler to keep things moving in the liquid. After about a week the ions from the iron have exchanged themselves for those above iron ( Electromotive Series of Metals ) rendering the liquid safe for disposal. http://goldrefiningforum.com/ It's actually a requirement by law that hazardous chemicals and materials when sold be accompanied with the MSDS sheet. http://www.ilpi.com/msds/ Edited January 23, 2019 by bcgold Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
