Abstract
A flow injection analysis (FIA) procedure for the speciation of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) using the 1, 5-diphenylcarbazide (DPC) method is presented. As Cr(III) does not interfere in the Cr(VI)-DPC reaction, both Cr(VI) and total chromium [after the on-line oxidation of Cr(III) by Ce(V)] are sequentially determined. Cr(III) is obtained by difference. Under the experimental conditions described, the calibration graphs are linear up to 2 µg ml–1 of Cr(VI) and 4 µg ml–1 of Cr(III). The detection limits found were 18 ng ml–1 for Cr(VI) and 55 ng ml–1 for Cr(III), at a signal to noise ratio of 3. The common interfering elements in the Cr(VI)-DPC reaction were investigated under dynamic FIA conditions. The FIA method was also compared with the conventional spectrophotometric procedure.
