Photoredox reactions of environmental chromium
Abstract
The role of direct photochemical reactions of Cr(VI) and Cr(III) species in the environmental
degradation of organic matter was investigated by means of Cr(VI)/alcohol and Cr(III)/EDTA model systems
under conditions mimicking the environmental ones. Photoreduction of Cr(VI) proceeds through reductive
quenching of chromate(VI) excited within UV-A by an alcohol molecule. Although
