Interferences in Diphenylcarbazide as Cr+6 indicator [India] 

May 8, 2007

Respected Sir,

I am doing one Project in IIT, Mumbai.
I am doing project on Chromium removal from pond water/waste water by using micro-organisms, for this i had to find a method of detecting chromium presence in that water, i found that diphenylcarbazide binds to chromium [VI] which i am looking for. I wanted to know that this reagent binds only to Cr[VI] or there are some interfering substances like vanadium etc???

Thank you,

Yours Faithfully
