High speed determination of sulfate by nonsuppressed ion chromatography

Nonsuppressed ion chromatography using a short guard column is shown to offer a fast and reliable method for separation and determination of sulfate. By optimization of the eluent composition the retention time of sulfate is below 1 min and sufficient resolution in the presence of excess of common anions is achieved. Calibration plots are linear in the range 0.5–200 mg/l sulfate. The method has been applied to the analysis of airborne particulates, diesel soot and tap-water.     

Simultaneous determination of catecholamines by ion chromatography with direct conductivity detection

A simple method for simultaneous determination of three catecholamines using ion chromatography (IC) with direct conductivity detection (CD) based on the ionization of catecholamines in acidic medium without chemical suppression is developed in the present paper. The method could be used for the determination of these catecholamines in pharmaceutical preparations for the purpose of drug quality control. The recovery of catecholamines was more than 97% (n=3) and the relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) (n=11) was less than 2.1%. In a single chromatographic run, norepinephrine (NE), epinephrine (E) and dopamine (DA) can be determined in less than 10 min. The detection limits were found to be 0.001 μg/ml for NE, 0.01 μg/ml for E and DA respectively. Linear ranges were 0.01–50 μg/ml for NE (r²=0.9998), 0.1–50 μg/ml for E (r²=0.9995) and DA (r²=0.9999), respectively.

Summary An ion chromatographic method has been developed for the separation of Te (IV) and Se(IV) in hydrochloric acid mobile phases; the method has been used to determine tellurium in a high-purity non-stoichiometric semiconducting ZnCdTe-based material.

The chromatographic data obtained enabled the calculation of both the sign and the chaarge of the eluting species.

Simultaneous determination of silicic acid, Ca, Mg and Al in mineral water and composite tablets by Ion chromatography

Summary A simple, selective and sensitive ion-chromatography method was investigated for simultaneously determining silicic acid, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Al³⁺ and anions (Cl⁻ and NO ₃ ⁻ ) in real samples. It involved a single-column ion-chromatograph with sodium hydroxide-methanol-water eluent and conductometric detection. Cations were converted to complex anions by adding EDTA to the sample solution. A set of well-defined peaks of silicic acid, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Al³⁺, Cl⁻ and NO ₃ ⁻ were obtained. Detection limits using 3.3σ (σ=standard deviation of blank solution) were 1.25×10⁻⁶ M for H₃SiO ₄ ⁻ , 1.32×10⁻⁶ M for Ca²⁺, 1.28×10⁻⁶ M for Mg²⁺, 1.33×10⁻⁶ M for Al³⁺, 1.31×10⁻⁶ M for Cl⁻ and 1.24×10⁻⁶ M for NO ₃ ⁻ . The method was successfully applied to analysis of mineral water and composite tablets.

High speed analysis of H2S and COS impurities in coal gas by capillary gas chromatography

There is a need for rapid, on-line, gas chromatographic analysis of trace levels of hydrogen sulfide and carbon oxysulfide in the oil-from-coal industry. In order to improve an existing method based on a polymer bed concentrator, a porous layer open tubular column, and a flame photometric detector, time-optimization of the various steps involved was attempted. Use of a redesigned concentrator, changed column operating conditions, and a photoionization detector reduced analysis times from 6.5 to 3 min and cycle times from 8 to 3 min. This could be achieved without compromising the 10 ppb detection limit required.

Simultaneous determination of cobalt and chromium by ion chromatography with chemiluminescence detection and its application to glass analysis

A method is described for the simultaneous determination of very low levels of Co and Cr by high performance ion chromatography coupled with a chemiluminescence detection system. 0.1M K₂SO₄ solutions, adjusted to pH 3.0, were used as eluent to separate Co(II) and Cr(III) between them and from interferents. The detection system was the chemiluminescence of luminol/ H₂O₂ in alkaline medium catalyzed by such transition metals. Using a matrix solution analogous to soda-lime silica glass (dissolved in acids) calibration graphs were linear up to 0.5 ng ml^–1 for cobalt and up to 250 ng ml^–1 for chromium. The corresponding calculated detection limits (3 s) in such matrix were 0.05 ng ml^–1 and 15 ng ml^–1 for Co and Cr, respectively. The relative standard deviations were 1.4% at 0.5 ng ml^–1 Co level and 2.8% at the 200 ng ml^–1 Cr level. No interferences were observed from the more common metals, particularly those present in glass samples. The ion chromatography/ chemiluminescent method proposed has been successfully applied to the analysis of Co and Cr in glasses.

Simultaneous speciation analysis of inorganic nitrogen with the use of ion chromatography in highly salinated environmental samples

We present the development of a method for the simultaneous determination of inorganic nitrogen species in oxidized (NO₂^–, NO₃^–) and reduced (NH₄⁺) forms using ion chromatography with diode‐array detection (205, 208, and 425 nm, respectively). The oxidized forms were determined directly after the separation in the anion exchanger, while the reduced form was determined in the column hold‐up time after derivatization with the Nessler reagent. The use of an appropriate modifier (Seignette reagent) and mobile phase (NaCl) enabled the determination of inorganic nitrogen species in highly salinated environmental samples (water, sediments). Moreover, low detection limits were obtained of 0.04 mg/L for NH₄⁺ and 0.006 and 0.005 mg/L for NO₂^– and NO₃^–, respectively. The analysis of environmental samples indicated NH₄⁺ contents of up to 1161 ± 47 mg/kg and NO₃^– of up to 148 ± 6 mg/kg for sediment samples, as well as the NH₄⁺ concentrations of up to 0.98 ± 0.10 mg/L, NO₂^– of up to 24 ± 1 mg/L and NO₃^– of up to 20 ± 1 mg/L for water samples.
