This test paper shows violet spots on a white background upon application of solutions containing chromium. The reaction is based on the presence of chromium as chromate. Cr3+ ions must be converted to chromate. Interferences caused by mercury salts or molybdates are readily circumvented. Limit of sensitivity: 2 mg/l Cr 3+ corresponding to 5 mg/l chromate.
Note: Non-destructive tests for the detection of chromium in metal alloys are carried out as follows: Apply a drop of a proper acid solution (1 part hydrochloric acid 37 % + 4 parts hydrogen peroxide 3 %) to the degreased steel surface, wait 10 to 30 seconds, add some drops of sodium hydroxide solution and cover the precipitate with filter paper. Press the chromium test paper on top of the filter paper. In the presence of chromium, a violet spot appears when the test paper is bathed in dilute sulphuric acid.
