Geogenic Cr(VI) in groundwater of the Pollino Massif (southern Apennines): occurrence and remediation
(Corresponding) Paternoster M., Rizzo G., Sinisi R., Vilardi G., Di Palma L., Mongelli G.
Topic:
Efficient water resources management in cr(vi) impacted water bodies
In this study total Cr, Cr(VI), Ni, major and some trace elements were determined in groundwater of northern sector of the Pollino Massif. The investigated area is characterized by ophiolitic rocks consisting of metabasites and cataclastic and highly fractured serpentinites. Two different hydro-...Read more
Fire-induced oxidation of Cr(III) in serpentine soils
(Corresponding) Botsou F., Vitzilaiou S., Guerra G., Valla P., Kelepertzis E., Dassenakis M., Argyraki A.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Ophiolite rocks and their weathering products are the major hosts of Cr(III)-bearing phases in the Earth’s crust. Trivalent Cr is rather benign, but risks arise because of its potential for oxidation to the toxic and carcinogenic hexavalent form. Manganese oxides are the most effective natural...Read more
