Zusammenfassung
The influence of an extended set of metals (Ca2+, Mg2+, Pb2+, Cu2+,
Cd2+ Ni2+, Zn2+ Mn2+, Fe3+) on the reduction rates of chromium (VI)
with H2S have been measured in NaCl solutions. Ca2+ and Zn2+ (0.01
to 0.02 M and 0.5 to 3.0 mu M) did not show any significant effect.
Mg2+ and Mn2+ (0.05 to 0.2 M and 1.8 to 14.2 mu M) produced only
moderate increases in the rates in 0.5 M NaCl that were not proportional
to the metal concentrations. The metals studied (Pb2+, Cu2+, Cd2+
Ni2+) caused large increases in the reduction rates at micromolar
concentrations. The effect was attributed to the formation of MeCrO4
complexes which react faster with sulfide than free chromate. From
measurements of the rates as a function of the added metal the rate
constants for the metal chromate complexes were determined. The rates
increased in the order k(NiCrO4)>k(PbCrO4)>(CuCrO4)>k(CdCrO4). The
addition of Fe(III) (0.2 to 1.8 mu M) increased the rates considerably
due to the catalytic cycling of the redox reactions of iron. (C)
