Abstract
A simple fluorimetric determination of Cr(VI) in the presence of Cr(III) is described. This determination is based on the fluorescence, produced from the ion-association complex between the Crystal violet cation and the anionic complex, formed between Cr(VI) and excess of I−. This fluorescence is not observed when Cr(III) is used instead of Cr(VI). The fluorescence intensity is linear over the concentration range of 0–60 μg/1. The method was applied in potable and sea waters.
