The removal of chromium (VI) from sulphuric acid solutions using the Dowex 1x8 resin has been investigated. The influence of several variables such as the stirring speed, temperature, the sulphuric acid and metal concentrations in the aqueous phase and the variation of the amount of resin added has been studied. Various aqueous solutions were used for the elution of the metal. Although concentrated nitric acid elutes chromium, this can be best accomplished using hydrazine sulphate solutions which at the same time reduce the toxic Cr (VI) to the less toxic trivalent chromium state. Results obtained from batch experiments were applied to a continuous system using vertical columns. Moreover, an analytical application of the system in the determination of Cr (VI) presents in the leachate of an EAF dust was investigated by transfering the methodology to an on-line flow injection system.
