Chromium isotopic

Chromium in the crystalline form is a steel-gray, lustrous, hard metal characterized by an atomic weight of 51.996, an atomic number of 24, a density of 7.14 g/cm3, a melting point of 1857°C, and a boiling point of 2672 C. Four chromium isotopes occur naturally Cr-50 (4.3%), -52 (83.8%), -53 (9.6%), and -54 (2.4%), and seven are man-made. Elemental chromium is very stable but is not usually found pure in nature. Chromium can exist in oxidation states ranging from -2 to +6, but is most frequently found in the environment in the trivalent (+3) and hexavalent (+6) oxidation states. The +3 and +6 forms are the most important because the +2, +4, and +5 forms are unstable and are rapidly converted to +3, which in turn is oxidized to +6 (Towill et al. 1978 Langard and Norseth 1979 Ecological Analysts 1981 USPHS 1993).

Volatile metal chelates are also useful in determining isotope ratios of geological interest, e.g., the Zr/Hf ratio (197). This method proved invaluable as a microtechnique for chromium isotope analysis of lunar samples from the Apollo program (198). [Pg.255]

The Mn- Cr system can be studied by TIMS, ICPMS, and SIMS techniques. For TIMS and ICPMS work, bulk samples or mineral separates are dissolved and the solutions are passed through ion-exchange columns to produce clean solutions of manganese and chromium. For minerals with high Mn/Cr ratios SIMS can obtain isotopic data while retaining the petrographic context of the measurements. The chromium isotopic compositions may have to be corrected for small additions of chromium from spallation reactions induced by cosmic rays. This is particularly important in iron-rich meteorites.

Chromium speciation has also been successfully achieved by using SFC [99]. Two p-ketonate chromium compounds and an organochromium dimer were separated initially, using C02 as the mobile phase. However, as a result of an isobaric interference at m/z 52 (the major chromium isotope) from the formation of 40Ar12C+, nitrous oxide was used instead. [Pg.399]
