A method for removing hexavalent chro mium from an electrochemical machining solution, which comprises adding an ex- cess of a stoichiometric amount of metallic iron particles to the electrochemical ma- chining solution to react with the hexava- lent chromium to produce trivalent chro- mium; mechanically agitating the metallic iron particles in the electrochemical ma- chining solution with a sufficient amount of energy to insure that surfaces of the iron particles are free of insoluble precipitates
selected from the group consisting essen- tially of iron hydroxide and chromium hy- droxide; main taining pH with an acid be- tween 2 and 7 until the hexavalent chromium is reduced to trivalent chromi- um; and then adjusting the pH with a base to precipitate the trivalent chromium.
