Chromate removal from aqueous wastes by reduction with ferrous ion

TL;DR: Experimental measurements of reaction stoichiometries indicate that optimum conditions for chromate removal from oxygenated, 25/sup 0/C aqueous wastes by reduction with ferrous ion occur at pH less than 10.0, which is below the drinking water limit of 10/sup -6/ M.

Kinetics of chromate reduction by ferrous iron

TL;DR: This study used a stopped-flow kinetic technique monitored by UV−VIS spectroscopy and an initial rate method to ascertain the rate constant and the rate dependence of each reactant, and observed that Cr(VI) removal conformed to −d[Cr(VI)]/dt = kcr[Fe(II)]0.6.

A first course in electrochemical engineering

TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical approach was adopted to reconcile three sets of guidelines due to IUPAC (Physical Chemistry), EFChE (Working Party on Electrochemical Engineering) and (above all) consistency with D. Pletcher's sister book "A First Course on Electrode Processes".
