Ma. Olazabal et al., STUDY OF THE COMPLEXATION AND PRECIPITATION EQUILIBRIA IN THE SYSTEM CR(VI)-FE(III)-H2O, Journal of solution chemistry, 23(10), 1994, pp. 1111-1123
Potentiometric and spectrophotomeric studies of the systems Cr(VI)-Fe(
III)-H2O and Fe(III)-H2O systems have been performed. The formation of
the complex FeCrO4+ is suggested and the corresponding thermodynamic
formation constant has been calculated (logbeta11 = 7.77 +/- 0.02). In
order to understand the cation-anion interactions, a study of the pre
cipitation equilibrium between Cr(VI) and Fe(III) has been carried out
. The results indicate the formation of FeOHCrO4.2Fe(OH)3, a mixed pre
cipitate whose thermodynamic solubility product is pK(so) = 99.8 +/- 0
.2.
