Influence of organic ligands on chromium (VI) reduction by iron (II)

Article Abstract:

Iron (II) is one of the most vital reductants that transforms toxic organic complexes, employing UV-vis spectroscopy and kinetic fitting. Fe(III)-stabilizing ligands, such as bi- and multidentate carboxylates and phenolates, generally hasten the reaction, whereas Fe(II)-stabilizing ligands, such as phenanthroline, essentially cease the reaction. These results are vital in DOC-rich soils and natural waters with respect to Cr(VI) reduction rates, the mobility of the products and the reoxidation probability of newly reduced Cr(III).

Comment:

Iron (II) is one of the most vital reductants that transforms toxic chromium (VI) to essential nontoxic chromium (III)

Influence of organic ligands on chromium(VI) reduction by iron(II)

Article Abstract:

Fe(III)-stabilizing ligands such as bi- and multidentate carboxylates and phenolates were found to hasten chromium(VI) reduction to nontoxic chromium(III). Fe(II)-stabilizing ligands phenanthroline, on the other hand, halted chromium(VI) reduction. A decrease in the electron reduction potential of the Fe(III)L-Fe(II) redux couple results to an increase in the rate coefficients. The presence of organic ligands allows the formation of soluble Cr(III) and Fe(III) complexes.
