      Then Nile comes in clutch with the 2nd channel.

      At least Nile is prepared to deal with the consequences. I can easily imagine someone giving up at any stage of this clean up and very unsafely disposing of their mistakes instead of doing further cleanup. To all the amateur chemists out there (that hopefully already know this) - dont ever do anything unless you are prepared to safely clean and dispose any byproducts.

    I worked at a large electroplating plant that plated chrome as its last step. The chromic acid was hexavalent chrome so when rinsing the electroplated product, the water was contaminated. The water also was contaminated with sodium cyanide, copper and nickel salts. We had a large wastewater treatment system that eventually used large chain polymers to bind the metals to them, then add the waste water to a gargantuan clarification tank which also added a 'flocking material' to adhere to the polymers and sink them to the bottom. The clean water would overflow at the top and go to the sewer system and the flocking material would be pumped to a press that squeezed the water out. What came out was the same color of green that you had before drying everything in the oven.

    In industry hex-chrome waste will typically be treated with sodium bisulfite or magnesium bisulfite at a low pH. Once the Cr is reduced you'd increase the pH to around 9 to the metal oxide. It would then be ran through a filter press to decrease the water however for handling reasons most undustrial users won't go below 10% water.

    Great to see how you take getting rid of your waste in a responsible way. Even though the video might not show it, your comments show that you know what you're doing. I'm sure there are also idiots out there that do the same experiments as you but just throw the waste down the drain and make it someone elses problem.
