| Abstract |
The Tennessee Valley Authority critically evaluated differential pulse polarography for determining chromium(VI) and chromium(III) in water samples from coal-fired steam-electric generating stations. After addition of reagents to overcome interference, the peak currents for chromium(III) and chromium(VI) are measured separately in different electrolytes and quantified by standard addition. Total chromium is the algebraic sum of chromium(VI) and chromium(III). The effective range for quantification is 0.1 to 10 mg/l of chromium(VI) and 0.6 to 10 mg/l of chromium(III). Interferences by lead(II) and chromium(VI) on chromium(III) are discussed. Lead(II) does not interfere with measurement of chromium(VI), and chromium(III) does not interfere with chromium(VI). Copper(II), zinc(II), and iron(III) do not interfere with measurement of either chromium(III) or chromium(VI). |
