    Chemical and biological analysis of chromium waste
    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2009) Hołda, Anna; Kisielowska, Ewa; Niedoba, Tomasz
    The paper presents chemical and microbiological analysis (were from qualitative and quantitative point of view) of the collected samples of wastes. The procedure of chemical analysis is based on a quantitative extraction of Cr(VI) from the solid samples and its determination in the extract by the method of flow coulometry by means of apparatus EcaFlow 150GLP, applying calibration by method of model curve. The determination of chromium by flow coulometry is based on utilization of inner electrode coulometric titration. Microbiological analysis shows that the concentration of chromium(VI) above 2000 mg/l is toxic for psychro- and mesophilous bacteria, stopping the growth of their colonies, but fungi from sort Rhizopus sp. and Penicillium sp. are tolerant for high concentrations of chromium(VI).
