Determination of Cr(III) In Chromic Acid. Comparison of Spectrophotometric and Ion Chromatographic Methods

摘要

Two methods have been developed for determining Cr(III) in chromic acid solutions. Both methods are based on the formation of a Cr-EDTA complex. The ion chromatographic method detects the Cr-EDTA as an anion using chemically suppressed conductivity. The spectrophotometric method detects the Cr-EDTA as a colored complex by measuring the absorbance at 540 nm. The conditions necessary for forming the Cr-EDTA complex are described. The results obtained by the spectrophotometric and ion chromatographic methods are compared. 15 refs., 5 figs., 1 tab. (ERA citation 11:030176)
