Cr(VI) uptake and reduction by biogenic iron (oxyhydr)oxides

Environmental Science: Processes and Impacts, 20(7), 1056–1068.

Contributors: A. Whitaker n, J. Peña*, M. Amor* & O. Duckworth n

MeSH headings : Adsorption; Carcinogens, Environmental / chemistry; Chelating Agents / chemistry; Chromium / chemistry; Ferric Compounds / chemistry; Kinetics; Oxidation-Reduction; Soil Pollutants / chemistry; Water Pollutants, Chemical / chemistry
TL;DR: The redox transformation of mobile Cr(vi) to less soluble Cr(iii) species observed in this study implies that biogenic Fe (oxyhydr)oxides in soils and natural waters may naturally attenuate Cr(ii) concentrations through sorption and reduction processes, thus limiting its transport to downstream environments.
