Abstract
A new chemiluminescence (CL) method combined with flow injection technique is described for the determination of Cr(III) and total Cr. It is found that a strong CL signal is generated from the reaction of Cr(III), lucigenin and KIO4 in alkaline condition. The determination of total Cr is performed by pre-reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) by using H2SO 3. The CL intensity is linearly related to the concentration of Cr in the range 4.0 × 10-10-1.0 × 10-6 g mL -1. The detection limit (3sb) is 1 × 10 -10 g mL-1 Cr and the relative standard deviation is 1.9% (5.0 × 10-8 g mL-1 of Cr(III) solution, n = 11). The method was applied to the determination of Cr(III) and total Cr in water samples and compared satisfactorily with the official method.
