“…It should be pointed out that, differently from the great majority of colorimetric methods (see, for instance, [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 16 , 29 , 30 ]), the interception of the calibration curve with the y-axis is close to zero, even for the absolute measurement at 550 nm. This is due to the fact that the absorbance of the reference solution, i.e., with a null concentration of Cr(VI), is lower than 2 × 10 −3 OD in the range between 550 and 700 nm.…”
