    Abstract:
    A novel potentiometric Cr(6+) PVC matrix membrane sensor incorporating nickel tris(1,10-bathophenanthroline) hydrogen chromate as an electroactive material and 2-nitrophenyl phenyl ether as solvent mediator is described. In a phosphate buffer solution of pH 5, the sensor displays a rapid and linear response for Cr(6-) over the concentration range 2 x 10(-2)-8 x 10(-6) M with an anionic slope of 55.5 +/- 0.2 mV decade(-1) and a detection limit of the order of 0.4 microg ml(-1). The sensor is used for sequential determination of Cr(6+) and Cr(3+) by direct monitoring of Cr(6+) followed by oxidation of Cr(3+) and measurement of the total chromium. The average recoveries of Cr(3+) and Cr(6+) at concentration levels of 0.5-50 microg ml(-1) are 98.1 +/- 0.4% and 99.1 +/- 0.4% respectively. Redox and precipitation titrations involving Cr(6+) as a titrant are monitored with the sensor. Cr(3+) and/or Cr(6+) in wastewaters of some industries (e.g., leather tanning, electroplating, aluminum painting) and the chromium contents of some alloys and refractory bricks are assessed. The results agree fairly well with data obtained using the standard diphenylcarbazide spectrophotometric method.
