(a)[Cr(VI)] is the concentration of Cr(VI) in the electrolyte minus the blank. White sample has [Cr(VI)] = 0.034 ppb; CCr is the Cr content in the sample (calculated by the formula: CCr = [Cr(VI)] .V2/V1). V1: volume of solution taken into the electrolyser (V1 = 2 ml), V2: volume of solution in the electrolyser (V2 = 10 mL), S is the standard deviation. Experimental conditions are as shown in Table 3.
