Description:
Sodium dithionite was used to treat a chromium source zone in soils beneath an old chrome plating shop. The sodium dithionite was injected as a buffered solution into the soils to transform the chromium from the oxidized (+6) state to the reduced (+3) state. Once reduced the chromium is immobilized and detoxified in place with no further treatment required.
