E. Cole, president of Chevrolet. Killings have frequently occurred in various Michigan streams, according to {he Stream "Commission, because of the large numberofplanta in which metal cleaning or plating operations !sr« necessary. Either of these pro cesses requires the use of cyanide so lutions. Investigations of the Univei sitiy of Michigan Institute ot Series | Research have shown that even as Ut tie as one of cyanide to two million parts ot' water is toxic to fish life. | The system used at the Chevrolet, plant believed to he the first adequate installation in' Michigan Is to accuniu late the poisonous waste and then treat it to remove the cyanide; the remaining liquid is then allowed to discharge very slowly into the river. The treatment in the storage tank in duces the cyanide content in the undi luted solution to lead than one part in one million. When this weak solution is allowed to mix gradually wth the great volume of the river itself, the waste is immediately diluted to com plete harmlessness. I In the operation of the system, ac cumulated waste is run into a rubbei lined steel tank 40 feet-long, 5 feet wide anr 4 feet deep. Recently 4,500 gallons were treated at once by the addition of more than two tons of sul phuric acid, followed by aeration far 16 hours. The released gasses are collected under a hood and discharged into air under forced draft through a stack 60 feet high. Before being treated each gallon of waste solution contained, 2.8 ounces, of copper cyanide ,and 1.1. ounce of free cyanide. After treatment the analysis showed less than one part per million of free cyanide, with quantities of copper sulphate and sul phuric acid so amaU as to be hamless when gradually discharged into the stream over a period of two days.
