Abstract

A kinetic and mechanistic approach was used to simultaneously study the oxidation of As(III) and reduction of Cr(VI) in aqueous phase, and in the presence of Fe(III). Reactions were monitored by UV-visible spectrophotometry. The stoichiometry of the reaction was . The rate equation for the reaction is proposed as  where k2 is the second order rate constant. The reaction was not affected by Fe(III) ions within the studied concentration range of 0.001 – 0.009 molL-1. From the reaction between   a plausible mechanism involving an ester formation by the reactants leading to the eventual formation of As(V) and Cr(III) was proposed.
