Chromium geochemistry and speciation in natural waters, Iceland

Natural waters in Iceland were collected and analyzed for chromium concentration and speciation (CrIII, CrVI and CrTOT). The water sampled included non-thermal surface and spring water, surface geothermal water, and single and two-phase geothermal well discharges with sampling temperatures of 0–178°...
