Myth or Truth, is Hexavalent Chromium in the Electrolyte

These test kits are sensitive to all forms of Chromium, so it does not prove it's
Hexavalent Chromium!
-
@InventorGadget Is there an article or an area as to where I can find evidence in this argument? Thanks
-
why can't u use gold plates, cheaper than platinum at least
-
how do you safely dispose it or is there a way to create hho without forming hexavalent chromium
-
Could you please give the exact source for this test? Spelling, phone # etc? Thanks!

No, Wikipedia states >
HC, is chromiumTrioxide. CrO3
Just the sixth oxidation state? :)
Ben.

I've got a theory, since HC, is CrO6
(chrome with 6 oxygens?)
Then it must be able to be reduced, say the water from electrolyte is evaporated, junk is left as a powde. And then take the powder and mix with charcoal powder, and seal in a fire-proof container. Get it hot, (1000 +- degrees F?) and the carbon should strip off the oxygens for it can burn.
Any input? I think this might work, idk.

there is no chromium in titanium plates.. In SS it's used as anti-rust compound, and seems to lech out during high amp. electrolysis.

I live in Midland Tx, and we have 5250 PPB in some wells in the area. My well is between 250 ppb and 350 ppb. My Grand-daughter has contact rash from it for 18 months before we found out about it. I would if this test could help us. The state has installed filter, but stop working with out notice!
it is used in production of 304 ss
but not found in 316L ss
or "food grade ss"

That may be true but 316L does contain Chromium and therefore will leach out via electrolsis, the L stands for LOW CARBON CONTENT, as in carbon steel, hence why it does not rust as easily.

I read somewhere that if the electrolite was baking soda then there would be no Hexavalent Chromium created. That generally it is the KOH and NaoH that help creat this... is there any truth to that?

No, that is not true

although it probably does not matter, which electrolyte did you use?

that bucket catches it all, some with NaOH and some NaHCO3.
