Abstract
Chromium has been determined by isotope dilution in artificial standards and in standard alloys using the substoichiometric principle. As a substoichiometric reaction the reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) was used, followed by separation of these species by coprecipitation of the trivalent chromium on a Ti(OH)4 precipitate. For amounts smaller than 1 μg the standard method had to be modified owing to spontaneous reduction of hexavalent chromium in the solution. Interferences from other metals, if they occur, can be easily overcome. The method is simple and inexpensive.
