8、re”consisting of sulfuric and perchloric acids.Once completed,oxidation of all tri-valent to haxavalent chrome is executed bycontrolled heating.Upon dilution,the chromium is indirectly(back)titrated volumetrically with standardized thiosulfateusing released iodine as the titrate.The perchloric acid
9、methodrequires less manipulation than procedures based upon fusionof the ash.However,care must be taken because of potentialhazards in the use of this reagent.5.Significance and Use5.1 The procedure described is specific for chromium in wetblue.Vanadium is the only common interfering element and isr
