The invention relates to a method for rapidly detecting the total concentration of
chromium in water. The method comprises the following steps that water to be detected is sampled, and the pH value of the
water sample to be detected is detected through a pH test strip and is adjusted; 5 ml of the
water sample to be detected is placed in a prefabricated tube containing 2 ml of
potassium persulfate solution in advance, and 0.2 ml of
copper sulfate solution is added to the
water sample to be detected; a heating digester is switched on, the temperature is set to be 165 DEG C, after the temperature reaches 165 DEG C, the prefabricated tube containing the mixed water sample is inserted into a heating
digestion groove, the prefabricated tube is sealed, and then
digestion lasts for 10 minutes; after
digestion, the prefabricated tube is taken out and cooled to the indoor temperature, 0.05 ml of
phosphoric acid solution is added, and 0.2 ml of
diphenylcarbazide color-developing solution is added after even mixing; after the
mixed solution stands for 10 minutes, the prefabricated tube containing the
mixed solution is inserted into a colorimetric groove of a
photometer, a blank is used as a contrast, and
colorimetric analysis is conducted at the position with the distance of 540 nm; the
absorbance of the water sample to be detected is substituted into a total
chromium concentration
standard curve and is multiplied by
dilution ratio, and then the total concentration of
chromium is obtained. According to the method for rapidly detecting the total concentration of chromium in water, the detection speed is high, and the application quantity of a poisonous agent is small. The invention further provides a detection kit which is convenient to carry and use and is used for the method for rapidly detecting the total concentration of chromium in water.
