Kinetics of Cr(VI) Reduction and Remobilisation in an Aquifer Permeable Reactive Barrier: Microcosm Simulation

Chromium is found in the environment mainly as hexavalent chromium, Cr(VI), and the trivalent form, Cr(III). Cr(VI) is carcinogenic and mutagenic to living organisms including humans whereas trivalent chromium is 1,000 times less toxic than Cr(VI). Most of the anthropogenic Cr discharged to the envi...
