Title: XANES of Chromium in Sludges Used as Soil Ameliorants

Journal Article · · Can. J. Chem.
OSTI ID:1008765

Samples of sewage sludges proposed for use as soil ameliorants in an Indo-Canadian project were tested for chromium content. Standard aqua regia extractions found one sludge to have excessive amounts of Cr. X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy, however, indicated that the Cr was present in the relatively benign Cr(III) oxidation state in all the sludge samples.
