APPLICATION:

Drinking, surface, & saline water; domestic and industrial

waste.

RANGE:

0.00–1.00 ppm Chromium

MDL:

0.01 ppm

METHOD:

The trivalent chromium is converted to hexavalent

chromium by permanganate under acidic

conditions. Hexavalent chromium reacts with 1,5

diphenylcarbohydrazide under acidic conditions to

form a red-purple color in proportion to the amount of

chromium present.

SAMPLE HANDLING

& PRESERVATION:

Analysis for chromium should be made as quickly as

possible after sample collection since storage in glass or

plastic containers may result in low chromate values.

INTERFERENCES:

High concentrations of mercurous and mercuric ions may

interfere.
