Chromium transformations in natural environments: The role of biological and abiological processes in chromium(VI) reduction.

Journal Article · · International Geology Review
OSTI ID:790242
The toxicity and mobility of chromium can be diminished through its reduction from the hexavalent state to the trivalent form. Similarly, reduction of hexavalent to tetravalent uranium results in a marked decrease in the mobility of this hazardous element. Here we describe possible pathways for reduction and on the basis of kinetic analysis describe the probable reduction pathways.
