Determination of iodide in seawater using C30 column modified with polyoxyethylene oleyl ether in ion chromatography

An ion chromatographic method for rapid and direct determination of iodide in seawater samples is reported. Separation was achieved using a laboratory-made C30 packed column (100 mm × 0.32 mm i.d.) modified with polyoxyethylene oleyl ether, with an aqueous solution of 300 mM sodium chloride as eluent and using UV detection at 220 nm. Samples containing iodate, nitrate, iodide and thiocyanate were eluted within 8 min, and the relative standard deviations of the retention time, peak area and peak height were all smaller than 4.19% for all of the analyte anions. Effects of eluent composition on retention behavior of inorganic anions have been investigated. Both cation and anion of the eluent affected the retention time of analytes. When inorganic eluents, such as ammonium chloride, ammonium sulfate, lithium chloride, sodium chloride, sodium sulfate, magnesium chloride and magnesium sulfate were used, the retention time of analytes increased with increasing eluent concentration. The limit of detection of iodide was 19 μg l⁻¹ (S/N = 3), while the limit of quantitation was 66 μg l⁻¹ (S/N = 10). The present method was successfully applied to the rapid and direct determination of iodide in seawater samples.     

Determination of iodide in seawater samples by ion chromatography with chemically-bonded poly(ethylene glycol) stationary phase

An ion chromatographic method for the rapid and direct determination of iodide in seawater is reported. Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) groups were chemically bonded onto silica gel or C30-bonded silica gel via diol groups. PEG-bonded C30 binary phases allowed determination of iodide in seawater samples without any interference. Effects of eluent composition on retention behavior of inorganic anions have been investigated. Both cation and anion of the eluent affected the retention of analyte anions. The retention time of anions increased with increasing eluent concentration. The detection limit for iodide obtained by injecting 0.2 microl of sample was 13 microg l(-1) (S/N=3) while the limit of quantitation was 43 microg l(-1) (S/N=10). The present method was successfully applied to the rapid and direct determination of iodide in seawater with long-term durability.     

Separation of inorganic anions on hydrophobic stationary phases in ion chromatography

Inorganic anions were separated on hydrophobic stationary phases such as triacontyl-functionalized silica. Eluent conditions were examined in detail, and iodate, nitrate, iodide, and thiocyanate could be separated by using aqueous solutions. The effect of the eluent concentration on the retention of analyte anions was examined for a wide range of sodium sulfate concentrations of up to 1 M. The retention factor of hydrophobic anions decreased with increasing sodium sulfate concentration in the lower concentration region, while it increased with increasing sodium sulfate concentration in the higher concentration region. The addition of a small amount of an organic substance such as acetonitrile and tetraethylene glycol increased the retention of iodide and thiocyanate, while the addition of alcohols decreased their retention. Operating at lower temperature also increased the retention of analyte anions. It was expected that inorganic anions were retained on the stationary phase via hydrophobic interactions. The retention mechanism was discussed, considering the results obtained.     

Ion chromatography using anion-exchangers modified with dextran sulfate

Summary Retention behavior of anions and cations on anion-exchangers modified with dextran sulfate has been investigated. Retention of anions was remarkably reduced by the modification, and the retention factor decreased with decreasing eluent concentration when sodium sulfate was used as the eluent. Cations were also retained on the modified stationary phase, and alkali and alkaline-earth metal ions were separated using copper sulfate or tris(2,2′-bipyridyl)ruthenium chloride as eluent. The size of the dextran sulfate strongly affected the retention behavior of analyte ions.     

Rapid separation of inorganic anions by capillary ion chromatography using monolithic silica columns modified with dilauryldimethylammonium ion.

The rapid separation of inorganic anions was determined by capillary ion chromatography using monolithic silica capillary columns modified with dilauryldimethylammonium bromide. The stability of the modified stationary phase was satisfactory owing to a strong hydrophobic interaction between the lauryl groups of the reagent, even if the eluent did not contain dilauryldimethylammonium ion. Bromide in seawater samples could be determined by the present system. The repeatability of a retention time of bromide for six successive measurements was around 1.8% when a 500 mM sodium chloride aqueous solution was used as the eluent. Seawater samples were directly injected onto the prepared column without any interference of matrix ions, because an aqueous solution of high-concentration sodium chloride could be used as the eluent. Bromide in seawater samples could be determined within 2 min.     

Effect of eluent composition on retention behavior of anions in ion chromatography on anion-exchangers modified with heparin

Effects of eluent composition on retention behavior of inorganic anions have been investigated in ion chromatography using anion-exchangers modified with heparin. Both cation and anion of the eluent affected the retention of analyte anions and unusual retention behavior was observed on the modified stationary phase. The retention time of anions decreased with decreasing eluent concentration when sodium sulfate, magnesium sulfate and chlorides of alkali metals were used as the eluent, whereas it increased with decreasing eluent concentration when aluminum sulfate, copper sulfate and sulfuric acid were used as the eluent. The retention of nitrate increased in the order of Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Rb⁺ and Cs⁺ when their chlorides were used as the eluent. When sodium perchlorate and chlorides of alkaline-earth metals were used as the eluent, the eluent should include heparin. Otherwise, the modifier was partially bled from the column.     

Flow gradient liquid chromatography using a coated anion exchange microcolumn

Ion chromatography on a 4.0-mm-long (3.0 mm ID) ion exchange column is presented. Using a 10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 2.22) the separation of up to six UV-absorbing anions was obtained using the microcolumn, containing 5 microm RP support (Phenomenex Gemini) coated with the zwitterionic surfactant, (N-dodecyl-N,N-dimethylammonio) undecanoate. The short analytical column facilitated the application of a flow gradient programme over the flow range 0.3-5 mL/min resulting in optimum resolution of nitrite, nitrate, benzoate, iodide, thiocyanate and trichloroacetate in less than 10 min. The effect of both eluent concentration and pH on the retention of six selected anions was investigated, showing a strong pH capacity dependence. The microcolumn was found to exhibit no selectivity towards chloride and so was well suited to the analysis of saline samples. To illustrate this, the rapid analysis of a concentrated iodized table salt sample (20 g/L) was carried out. Following standard addition, a concentration of 3.55 +/- 0.05 microg iodide/g and 1.05 +/- 0.02 microg iodate/g in the solid salt sample was determined.     

Determination of Iodide and Thiocyanate in Seawater by Liquid Chromatography with Poly(ethylene glycol) Stationary Phase

Novel, simple, rapid, highly sensitive, and direct determination of iodide and thiocyanate ions in seawater has been performed by liquid chromatography (LC) with UV detection at 220 nm. The separation was achieved on a C₃₀ column of conventional size (150 mm × 4.6 mm i.d.) modified with poly(ethylene glycol); an aqueous solution of 300 mM sodium sulfate and 50 mM sodium chloride was used as mobile phase. Detection limits (S/N=3) obtained by injecting a 20-L sample were 0.5 and 6 ng mL^–1 for iodide and thiocyanate, respectively. The method was successfully used for rapid and direct determination of iodide and thiocyanate in seawater samples, collected from the coasts of Japan, without any extra pretreatment.Dedicated to Professor K.

Separation of inorganic anions on a triazole-functionalized ion exchanger in ion chromatography

The retention behavior of inorganic anions on a triazole-based stationary phase was first examined in ion chromatography. It was initially designed for hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography and was simply prepared by introducing the triazole groups onto the surface of silica gel via click chemistry. Effective separation of common inorganic anions, including iodate, chloride, bromide, nitrate and iodide, was achieved with Na(2)SO(4) eluent. The logarithm of the retention factor of analytes was observed to be linear with the logarithm of the eluent concentration, and the slopes of the plots were almost the same as those of the ideal theoretical value. The eluent pH value in the range of 3.4-7.0 had little effect on the separation. The utility of the column was demonstrated for the determination of UV-absorbing anions in saliva and tap water.     

Rapid and direct determination of iodide in seawater by electrostatic ion chromatography

An electrostatic ion chromatographic (IC) method for rapid and direct determination of iodide in seawater is reported. Separation was achieved using a reversed-phase ODS packed column (250x4.6 mm I.D.) modified by coating with Zwittergent-3-14 micelles, with an eluent comprising an aqueous solution containing 0.2 mM NaClO4 and 0.3 mM Zwittergent-3-14 and using UV detection at 210 nm. Samples prepared by dissolving NaIO3, NaNO2, NaBr, NaBrO3, NaNO3, NaI, and NaSCN in artificial or real seawaters were analyzed using this IC system. Nitrite, iodate, bromide, bromate, and nitrate showed very little or no retention, while iodide and thiocyanate were well separated, being eluted within 6 and 16 min, respectively. The detection limit for iodide obtained by injecting 400 microL of sample was 0.011 microM (S/N = 3), and the precision values obtained by analyzing samples containing 0.1 or 0.3 microM iodide in real seawater samples were 2.3% RSD and 1.2% RSD, respectively. Direct determination of iodide in real seawater samples was possible using this proposed IC system.

Determination of Inorganic Anions by Capillary IC Using Hexadimethrine Bromide-Modified Silica Stationary Phases

A simple, rapid and highly sensitive capillary ion chromatographic method for direct determination of iodide and thiocyanate is reported. Separation was achieved on a laboratory-made capillary column (100 mm × 0.32 mm i.d.) packed with silica gel, followed by modification with 20 mM hexadimethrine bromide. Sodium perchlorate?Cmethanol (95:5, v/v) was used as the eluent and analyte anions were detected at 225 nm. Iodate, bromate, nitrate, iodide and thiocyanate were eluted within 8 min, with relative standard deviations of the retention time, peak area and peak height smaller than 2.4%. Effects of the eluent composition on the retention behavior were also investigated. The limit of detection (S/N = 3) of iodide was 6.5 ??g L^?1, whereas that of thiocyanate was 16.2 ??g L^?1. The method was successfully applied to the rapid and direct determination of iodide in powdered milk and thiocyanate in human saliva without any pre-concentration. The modified column could be used for about 1 month (8 h operation per day) without loss of hexadimethrine bromide.     

Determination of thyroid hormones in pharmaceutical preparations,after derivatization with 9-anthroylnitrile,by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection

Fast ion-exchange chromatography has been developed and applied to the separation of common inorganic anions. Using a didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) coated short (30 mm x 4.6 mm) ODS analytical column (3-microm particle size) and a 5 mM phthalate eluent (pH 7.5) the isocratic separation of nine common anions in 160 s was possible, with the first seven anions, including phosphate, chloride and sulphate, separated within 65 s. Detection was achieved using indirect UV at 279 nm. The high capacity, highly hydrophobic ion-exchange coating demonstrated excellent stability over time, even at elevated temperatures (45 degrees C) and exhibited unusual selectivity for common anions (retention order=fluoride, carbonate, phosphate, chloride, bromate, nitrite, sulphate, bromide and nitrate). The developed chromatography was successfully applied to the rapid analysis of river water and seawater samples.     

Anion chromatography using on-line recycled eluents

Non-suppressed anion chromatography, using on-line recycled eluents, was investigated. Cations and anions from samples were excluded from the eluents using a mixture of strongly acidic cation-exchange resins and strongly basic anion exchange resins in the eluent reservoir. This exclusion was performed after determination of the anions in the non-suppressed anion chromatography, and the eluents were then recycled on-line. The performance of consecutive determinations was evaluated from the relative standard deviation (RSD) of peak heights and retention times of chloride, bromide, nitrite, nitrate, and sulfate ions, with a concentration of 3 microg ml(-1) each, compared to that of normal anion chromatography. Over 50 consecutive determinations could be achieved with an eluent volume of only 200 ml for a 100 microl sample volume. Almost all the RSD values for retention time, and peak heights of these anions, were smaller than 3%. Over fifty consecutive determinations of chloride, nitrate, and sulfate ions in a river water sample could be achieved with an eluent volume of only 100 ml. All the RSD values for retention time and peak heights of these anions were smaller than 3%. The eluent volume could be decreased to one tenth of that used in normal anion chromatography. The performance of the anion chromatography, using on-line recycled eluents, was the same as that for normal anion chromatography under the same conditions.     

Indirect detection of halide ions via fluorescence quenching of quinine sulfate in microcolumn ion chromatography.

Halide ions could be visualized via fluorescence quenching in microcolumn ion chromatography. The fluorescence of quinine sulfate, which was contained in an acidic eluent, was quenched by halide ions. The observed fluorescence quenching values increased in this order: iodide, bromide, and chloride. The present detection system was relatively sensitive to halide ions except for fluoride: other anions gave smaller signals than halide ions. The present detection system provided quantitative information, so it could be applied to the determination of chloride in water samples.     

Determination of trace anions in high-nitrate matrices by ion chromatography

An ion chromatography method was developed to determine trace anionic contamination in matrices that have a high concentration of nitrate ion. Contaminant anions of interest were separated on an IonPac AS15 high-capacity anion-exchange column and detected by suppressed conductivity detection. An EG40 eluent generator was used to prepare high-purity and carbonate-free potassium hydroxide. Using the EG40, performance at trace levels was enhanced because background conductivity decreased and retention time reproducibility improved. Trace anionic contamination from the mobile phase was minimized when using the eluent generator compared to using conventionally prepared sodium hydroxide eluents. The signal-to-noise ratio was also improved with the use of a temperature controlled conductivity cell and chromatography hardware in the microbore (2-mm) format. The eluent concentration was optimized to separate the contaminant anions from the excess of the nitrate matrix ions. The procedure was demonstrated for a solution of reagent-grade sodium nitrate and high-purity 0.7% nitric acid. Method detection limits for chloride, sulfate and phosphate of 150 μg/l and lower were achieved.     

Simplified column-switching technology for the determination of traces of anions in the presence of high concentrations of other anions

A binary eluent model was proposed to study the retention behavior of trace anions in the presence of high concentrations of co-eluent anions. According to this model, the effect of the matrix on the retention of trace anions can be suppressed by using a high-concentration eluent. Based on the model, a simplified 'heart-cut' column-switching technology was proposed, in which the column-switching time window can be determined directly by standard solution of the analyte. By using this technology, a detection limit of 50 microg/l was obtained for nitrate in the presence of 5,000 mg/l chloride and 250 mg/l sulfate. The effect of the matrix on the concentration efficiency of weak acid anions was studied according to the result of phosphate. The possibility of the determination of weak acid anion by the 'heart-cut' technology was also discussed. The technology has been applied for the determination of nitrate in high salinity sea water, the spike recovery is in the range of 89.2-101.3%.     

A Fluorescence Quenching Method for the Determination of Iodide Ion with Salicylfluorone and Hydrogen Peroxide

Abstract

A highly sensitive and selective fluorescence quenching method has been developed for rapid determination of iodide ion with salicylfluorone (SAF) as fluorogenic reagent (λ_ex = 495 nm, λ_em = 520 nm) at pH 2.5-3.0. The calibration graph is linear over the range 0.05-300 μg/25 ml. The detection limit is 0.05 μ/25 ml iodide. Other halide ions do not interfere with the determination even when present in large excess. The method is rapid and was successfully applied for the determination of iodide ion in sodium chloride, table salt and low sodium salt.     

Lipophilicity determination of some monoamine oxidase inhibitors: the effect of methanol and ammonium chloride.

The lipophilicity (RM value) of seventeen monoamine oxidase inhibitory drugs was determined by reversed-phase thin-layer chromatography, and the effect of salt concentration on the reversed-phase retention was studied by adding ammonium chloride to the eluent. Each drug exhibited regular retention behaviour, its RM value linearly decreasing with increasing concentration of methanol in the eluent. Ammonium chloride decreased the retention: the effect was higher at lower salt concentrations, which indicates that the phenomenon is of saturation character. The influence of ammonium chloride depended on the concentration of methanol (on the dielectric constant of the eluent) suggesting that methanol suppresses the dissociation of ammonium chloride resulting in a modified salting-in effect.
