They NaOH is an isolation step. As it helps react FexClx to oxides
If starting from pure metal, you should be able to go stright to the oxidizer.
Searching for a reference now. Its in one of these books
Edit: still searching, got at least 1 book for every unfinished project

Thats what am thinking too, once you oxidize the Cr it will stay in sln while the remaining metal-iron hydroxide precipitate will be discarded with filtering.

React SS/Cr with acid - filter keep filtrate - react with carbonate(or bicarbonate?) - filter and keep precipitate - oxidize - filter and keep filtrate - acidify to dichromate - react with KCl and keep precipitate.

ISBN 0130-39913-2
Catherine E. Housecroft Inorganic Chemistry 2nd Edition
Chapter 21. Pg 606
Explains the ph solubility and how to convert chromium to all sorts of perty colors.

This isnt the reference im looking for but its a good one. Betterworldbooks has a few copies right now for less than 5$

I know i have a waste treatment and recovery book that goes through the entire process of extracting every transition metal from anything (dirt, biomatter, sewage and industrial streams).

So I left this filtering through a coffee filter and some cotton wool while I went away for a week.

I got back and the coffee filter is now brown/black and the cotton wool falls apart. I guess I do indeed have a good oxidiser.
