Mineral tanning, which uses mineral salts, produces a soft, pliable leather and is the preferred method for producing most light leathers.... Chromium salt is the most widely used mineral agent, but salts from aluminum and zirconium are also used. In mineral tanning[, ] the hides are soaked in saline baths of increasing strength or in acidic baths in which chemical reactions deposit salts in the skin fibres. 1, record 1, English, - mineral%20tanning

Le tannage minéral est la méthode [de tannage] la plus courante. Il nécessite l'emploi de tanins minéraux : sels de chrome, sels de fer, sels de zirconium... Ce type de tannage s'effectue par trempage des peaux dans des foulons. Le tannage le plus utilisé est celui qui s'effectue au moyen de sels de chrome [...] 2, record 1, French, - tannage%20min%C3%A9ral

The technique of extracting a metal from its soluble salt by an electrolytic cell. It is used in recovery of zinc, cobalt, chromium, and manganese, and has recently been applied to copper when in the form of a silicate ore. For any specific metal, the salt in solution is subjected to electrolysis and is electrodeposited on a cathode made of the metal being extracted. 4, record 3, English, - electrowinning
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Electrowinning (winning or recovering the metal by an electrolytic process) can be carried out on the molten metal or compound, or on a solution of a compound of the metal. In the first process a raw ore is fused (melted) or converted into an easily fusible compound, and the resulting current-conducting solution (electrolyte) is electrolyzed (decomposed by an electric current), producing a relatively pure metallic deposit on one electrode. The second process involves leaching the raw ore ... with an aqueous solution; the resulting solution, or electrolyte, rich in the metal, then is recovered and electrolyzed, again producing a relatively pure metal deposit on one electrode. 5, record 3, English, - electrowinning

A method of producing a chromium yeast product having a high intracellular chromium content which is useful as a dietary chromium supplement is provided by treating an aqueous suspension of live yeast cells adjusted to an acidic pH in the range of 4 to about 7 with a water-soluble non-toxic chromium salt under essentially non-growth conditions for a period sufficient to permit the absorption of a significant amount of intracellular chromium ion by said yeast cells. 2, record 4, English, - chromium%20yeast
