Development of a fully buffered molybdate electrolyte for capillary electrophoresis with indirect detection and its use for analysis of anions in Bayer liquor

A new counterion-buffered molybdate electrolyte was developed and optimized for simultaneous quantitative determination of up to eight anions (chloride, sulphate, oxalate, fluoride, formate, malonate, succinate, and acetate) in Bayer liquor by capillary electrophoresis with indirect detection at 214 nm. The separation parameters were optimized in respect to separation of the critical analyte group fluoride-formate-malonate, with the optimal electrolyte prepared from molybdic trioxide containing 5.0 mmol/L MoO3, 1.3 mmol/L cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), and buffered with diethanolamine (DEA) to pH 9.2 (ca. 20 mM DEA). Total length of separation capillary was 80 cm, resulting in run time of under 4 min. The method is suitable for a wide concentration range of the analytes (1-50 mg/L) with linear calibration plots (R2 = 0.9983-0.9999). Relative standard deviations were 0.05%-0.07% for migration times and 0.67%-2.04% for peak areas. The detection limits were in the range of 0.17-0.51 mg/L or 2-10 micromol/L (hydrostatic injection of 30 s of 1000 x diluted sample). Due to its good buffering capacity, the electrolyte exhibited an excellent ruggedness and good tolerance to the alkaline samples. Consequently, Bayer liquor samples could be diluted as little as 100 x which allows more sensitive determination of minor components over previous methods. The method was successfully applied to analysis of Bayer liquor samples with recoveries in the range of 95-105%.

Simultaneous separation of inorganic anions and cations by capillary zone electrophoresis

A new capillary electrophoretic approach for simultaneous separation of fast anions and cations is demonstrated. Indirect UV detection at 214 nm in conjunction with electromigration sampling from both ends of the capillary was developed. Two electrolyte systems based on imidazole-nitrate and copper(II)-ethylenediamine-nitrate were investigated for the simultaneous separation of chloride, sulphate, hydrocarbonate, potassium, ammonium, calcium, sodium and magnesium ions. Experimental parameters that were evaluated included a nature of UV chromophore, pH of electrolyte, a nature of complexing agent. The method permits the excellent separation of three anions and five cations in only 4 min using electrolyte system containing 2.5 mmol l⁻¹ Cu(NO₃)₂, 5 mmol l⁻¹ ethylenediamine and 1 mmol l⁻¹ fumaric acid at pH 8.5 adjusted with tetraethylammonium hydroxide.     

Analysis of organic acids and inorganic anions in beverage drinks by capillary electrophoresis

To meet the need for a new and validated analytical method for simultaneous determination of inorganic and organic acid anions in beverage drinks, a capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) procedure had been developed based on a new background electrolyte (BGE) system containing 3 mmol/L 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (BTA), 15 mmol/L tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane and 1.5 mmol/L tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) at pH 8.4. Baseline separation of anions commonly found in beverage drinks could be achieved in less than 14 min with indirect UV detection at 240 nm. Comigration problems for hydroxycarboxylic acids could be solved using TEPA as BGE additive. The results indicate excellent repeatability for migration time (RSD, 0.27-0.67%, n = 5) and good precision for both peak height (RSD, 3.2-4.2%, n = 5) and peak area (RSD, 3.1-4.5%, n = 5). Under the optimized conditions and using corrected peak area for quantitation, an excellent linear dynamic range (with correlation coefficient > 0.997 in a concentration range from 0.005 to 2.0 mmol/L) and low detection limit (1-4 micro mol/L) were obtained for all the anions investigated. The applicability and reliability of the CE procedure developed were established by parallel method determination using established ion chromatography procedure for the analysis of inorganic and organic acid anions in orange juice and wine samples. Our CZE procedure provided a sensitive and economic technique for simultaneous determination of inorganic and organic acid anions in orange juice, red and white wine samples.     

The simultaneous determination of chloride, nitrate and sulphate by isotachophoresis using bromide as a leading ion

A new method has been devised to allow the determination of small inorganic anions using isotachophoresis. This method makes use of indium(III) as a counter ion to manipulate the effective mobilities of inorganic anion species by means of complexation reactions. This new procedure successfully allowed the simultaneous determination of nitrate, chloride and sulphate to be realised on a capillary scale instrument and in a chip-based separation device. The electrolyte system developed to allow the separation to be achieved employed a 10mM bromide-based leading electrolyte containing 1.25 mM indium(III) at pH 3.15 and a terminating electrolyte of cyanoacetic acid.     

Modification of the electroosmotic flow and separation selectivity of anions in electrochromatography with pseudo-stationary phases of C14-alkyldimethylammoniopropane sulfonate zwitterionic surfactants by addition of salts to the background electrolyte

The effects of salts (NaCl, NaClO4, MgCl2, CeCl3) added to background electrolyte (BGE) solutions (10 mmol L(-1) sodium phosphate, pH 7.2) on electroosmotic flow (EOF) and the separation selectivity of anions (chloride, bromide, iodide, nitrite, nitrate, chlorate, thiocyanate, iodate, chromate, and molybdate ion) by capillary electrochromatography using the zwitterionic surfactant 3-(N,N-dimethylmyristylammonio)propane sulfonate (C14N3S) as a pseudo-stationary phase were investigated. There are two mechanisms affecting the separations: 1. the cations and anions of the added salts interact with the zwitterionic surfactant to varying degrees, thus changing the overall retention of the analytes; and 2. they change the EOF and the resulting apparent mobilities. It was shown that a BGE containing perchlorate and a low concentration of zwitterionic surfactant (2 mmol L(-1)) gave a stable and reproducible EOF and the concentration of perchlorate could be used to manipulate the separation selectivity for polarizable anions, such as iodide and thiocyanate. These effects are discussed in terms of measured association constants describing the interaction of anions and cations with the zwitterion.

Sulfur speciation by capillary zone electrophoresis: conditions for sulfite stabilization and determination in the presence of sulfate, thiosulfate and peroxodisulfate

Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) was used for the separation of the sulfur species SO3(2-), SO4(2-), S2O(3-) and S2O8(2-). Using an electrolyte system with 9.5 mmol L(-1) potassium chromate as UV-absorbing probe and 1 mmol L(-1) diethylenetriamine (DETA) as electroosmotic flow modifier, various possibilities for the stabilization of sulfite and electrophoretic separation of the sulfur anions were investigated. By adding 5% propanol as a stabilizer to both the working electrolyte and the sample solution, a good stabilization for sulfite and a separation of the sulfur anions in a short analysis time (4 min) was achieved. The advantages by using propanol instead of other stabilizers often used in analytical techniques are discussed. The electrophoretic separation of the sulfur anions was optimized with respect to the pH of the working electrolyte and concentration of the electroosmotic flow modifier (DETA). The detection limits achieved for SO3(2-), SO4(2-), S2O3(2-) and S2O8(2-) were 0.35, 0.25, 0.78 and 0.80 mg L(-1), respectively.

Capillary zone electrophoresis for the determination of light-absorbing anions in environmental samples.

A rapid and simple method for separation and determination of inorganic anions by capillary zone electrophoresis was described. The detection was carried out directly with a diode array detector. The experimental conditions, such as concentration of carrier electrolyte, capillary length, voltage, and temperature were optimized. In order to improve selectivity, different organic modifiers were also investigated. The baseline separation of 10 light-absorbing anions was accomplished within 3.5 min with a background electrolyte consisting of 50 mM sodium tetraborate containing 5% MeOH. Linear plots were obtained in the concentration range of 0.1-10 microg/ml. With sample stacking injection, the quantitation limits of the anions were found to be in the range of 0.02-0.1 microg/ml. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of inorganic anions in environmental samples and in effluents of a power plant.     

Enatiomeric analysis of simendan by CE with beta-CD as chiral selector compared with CMPA-HPLC

The chiral separation of simendan enantiomers using capillary electrophoresis was studied with beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) as chiral selector. The influences of the concentration and pH of borate buffer solution, beta-CD concentration and methanol content in the background electrolyte were investigated. These factors were compared with those in an HPLC with beta-CD as chiral mobile phase additive (CMPA-HPLC). The quantification properties of the developed CE method were examined. A baseline separation of simendan enantiomers was achieved in the background electrolyte of 20 mmol/L borate buffer (pH 11.0) containing 12 mmol/L beta-CD-methanol (50:50 in volume ratio). The CE method is comparable with CMPA-HPLC in chiral resolution, although the optimal pH in CE (11.0) is much higher than that (6.0) in CMPA-HPLC. This chiral CE method is applicable to the quantitative ananlysis and enantiomeric excess value determination of L-simendan.

Optimum conditions for effective use of the terminating ion in transient isotachophoresis for capillary zone electrophoretic determination of nitrite and nitrate in seawater,with artificial seawater as background electrolyte

We have examined transient isotachophoresis (ITP) conditions, e.g. the nature of the terminating ion, its concentration, and the injection procedure, to improve the limit of detection (LOD) for determination of nitrite and nitrate in seawater by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE). Artificial seawater containing 3.0 mmol L(-1) cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) was used as background electrolyte (BGE). After sample injection 600 mmol L(-1) acetate was separately injected into the capillary as the terminating ion for transient ITP. The LOD for nitrite and nitrate, obtained at a signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of 3, were 15 and 7.0 microg L(-1) (as nitrogen), respectively. Relative standard deviations (RSD) of peak area for nitrite and nitrate were 7.3 and 0.8%, respectively, and the RSD of peak height were 5.7 and 1.2%, respectively, when the concentrations of nitrite and nitrate were 0.05 and 0.25 mg L(-1). The RSD of migration time for these ions was 0.2%. The proposed method was applied to the determination of nitrite and nitrate in seawater samples. The results for nitrite were nearly in agreement with those obtained by naphthylethylenediamine spectrophotometric analysis (SPA; correlation coefficient 0.9041).     

On-line stacking techniques for the nonaqueous capillary electrophoretic determination of acrylamide in processed food

In the present study, field amplified sample stacking (FASS) techniques in the nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis method (NACE) were introduced for the on-line concentration of the acrylamide to improve acrylamide detection at 210 nm by diode-array detection. Acetonitrile (ACN) as a nonaqueous solvent permits acrylamide to be protonated through the change of its acid-base chemistry, allowing capillary electrophoretic separation of this compound. Choosing 30 mmol L(-1) HClO(4), 20 mmol L(-1) NaClO(4), 218 mmol L(-1) CH(3)COOH in ACN as the separation electrolyte and employing sample stacking methods, the LOD value of acrylamide was decreased to 2.6 ng mL(-1) with electrokinetic injection and 4.4 ng mL(-1) with hydrodynamic injection. Optimized stacking conditions were applied to the determination of acrylamide in several foodstuffs. The method is simple, rapid, inexpensive, and widely applicable for the determination of acrylamide in food samples.
