Study of total chromium and water soluble chromium in ...
Hexavalent form of chromium is more toxic, as it is water soluble as compared to its insoluble trivalent form [1]. It is an unavoidable trace element present in the raw materials used for formation of cement clinker [2]. At high temperatures of cement rotary kilns, inert trivalent chromium oxidizes to form reactive hexavalent chromium [3, 4].
