Abstract

Photochemic al  reduction  of  Cr  (VI)  i nto  Cr  (III)  has  been  reported  earlier  in  the  presence  of  glycerol (Yurkow  et al.,  2002).  The  introduction  of  EDTA  salt  in  the  reagent  that  is  prepared  to  have  an  incomplete reaction  enhances  the  rate  of  reduction  as  it  enhances  th e  ionic  strength  considerably.  The  acid   and  a carbon  source  was  provided  through  the  reaction  of  glycerol  and  concentrated  Sulphuric  acid.  The  reagent thus  formulated  is  efficient  enough  to  reduce  the  hexavalent  chromium  as  evident  by its  appearance  in  the solut i on .
