Study of mechanism retention of nonvolatile alkylphosphonic acids on unmodified selected polymer-based ion exchanger columns

The retention of alkylphosphonic acids (MPA, EPA, PPA, and BPA) and inorganic anions (Cl⁻, NO₃⁻, and SO₄²⁻) were studied on two anion exchangers, e.g., Dionex IonPac AS4A-SC (250 ± 4 mm I.D.) and Satisfaction P 4000-SAX (50 ± 4.6 mm I.D.) under isocratic elution conditions with evaporative light scattering detector. The plots of retention factors, k, of organic anions vs. the reciprocal of eluent ion concentration show good linearity. The major retention mechanisms are interpreted as ion exchange and some others interactions. The C effect of organic modifier added to the aqueous buffered mobile phase is also investigated.

Poly(ethylene oxide)-bonded stationary phase for capillary ion chromatography

Methyl-capped poly(ethylene oxide) moieties were chemically bonded to silica gel using an amine-reactive modification reagent and evaluated as the stationary phase for ion chromatography. In this work, primary amino groups of an aminopropylsilica packing material were reacted with methyl-PEO₁₂-NHS ester (succinimidyl-{[N-methyl]-dodecaethyleneglycol} ester) in phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) at room temperature. The prepared poly(ethylene oxide)-bonded stationary was evaluated for the separation of inorganic anions, and the retention behavior of inorganic anions on the prepared stationary phase was examined. The elution order of the investigated anions was the same as that observed in common ion chromatography. Both cations and anions of the eluent affected the retention of the analyte anions. Ion exchange was involved for the retention of analyte anions, although the present stationary phase does not possess any discrete ion-exchange sites. The stationary phase was applied to the separation of trace anions contained in tap water and a rock salt.     

Ion Chromatographic Determination of Selected Anions in Mineral Waters

Abstract

Suppressed ion-chromatography using Na₂CO₃/NaHCO₃ as eluent was applied to the determination of chloride, sulphate, nitrate and bromide in highly mineralised waters. The effect of different concentrations of hydrogen carbonate on the retention times of the determination of the four selected anions was studied. Depending on the total concentration of ionic species, dilution of the sample is recommended to obtain retention times approaching those of the anion standard. The stability of sample composition was not affected by the presence of iron(III) ions (up to 15 mgL^?1).     

A multifunctional dual membrane electrodialytic eluent generator for capillary ion chromatography

A multifunctional electrodialytic generator (EDG) for capillary ion chromatography (CIC) is described. The same device can generate acidic, basic or saline eluents. Two oppositely charged ion exchange beads are used to fabricate the EDG; the dual ion exchanger configuration ensures the production of gas-free eluent, obviating the need of a gas removal device used with single ion exchanger EDG's. The ability of the same EDG to produce different eluents is governed solely by the choice of the respective feed solutions; this is presently demonstrated by generation of diverse eluents such as Na₂CO₃/NaHCO₃, CH₃SO₃H, and KNO₃. The EDG is implemented simply in a commercial cross fitting and has been tested up pressures to 2000 psi. Under typical operating conditions, the zero current concentration (open circuit penetration, OCP) is negligible. The generated eluent concentration linearly increases with applied current with a slope that is essentially Faradaic. The device permits both isocratic and gradient operation with good reproducibility, as demonstrated by the analysis of anions using HCO₃⁻/CO₃²⁻ EDG.

Vitamin U-bonded stationary phase in capillary ion chromatography

A vitamin U-bonded stationary phase was prepared and the retention behavior of inorganic anions was examined using ion chromatography. Inorganic anions were retained on the vitamin U-bonded stationary phase under acidic as well as neutral eluent conditions in the ion-exchange mode. The elution order of the examined anions under neutral eluent conditions was nearly the same as that observed in common ion exchange mode, while the elution order observed under acidic eluent conditions was completely different from that observed in common ion exchange mode. The retention of the analyte anions under the neutral eluent conditions was due to the sulfonium groups of the vitamin U, while protonated primary amino groups caused retention of the analyte anions with different selectivity under acidic conditions. The retention factor of the analyte anions increased with decreasing eluent concentration under both eluent conditions. The present system was applied to the determination of bromide and nitrate contained in seawater.     

Application of Artificial Neural Network and Multiple Linear Regression Retention Models for Optimization of Separation in Ion Chromatography by Using Several Criteria Functions

This work focuses on problems regarding empirical retention modelling and optimization of separation in ion chromatography. Influences of eluent flow rate and concentration of eluent competing ion (OH^–) on separation of seven inorganic anions (fluoride, chloride, nitrite, sulphate, bromide, nitrate, and phosphate) were investigated. Artificial neural networks and multiple linear regression retention models in combination with several criteria functions were used and compared in global optimization process. It can be seen that general recommendations for optimization of separation in ion chromatography is application of chromatography exponential function criterion in combination with artificial neural networks retention model.

Preparation and ion chromatographic properties of a new core-shell chromatographic support Al2O3/SiO2-10

A new stationary phase Al₂O₃/SiO₂-10 was prepared and characterized by XPS, XRD, SEM and surface analysis. The anion exchanger properties of this new stationary phase were investigated by the separation of inorganic anions in ion chromatography (IC). pH of the mobile phase, concentration and strength of the Lewis base of the elute, and the organic modifier of the mobile phase strongly affect the separation of inorganic anions, and anion exchange selectivities of the analyte on the new support are significantly different from quaternary ammonium styrene based anion exchangers. The result of separation of inorganic anions shows that the new stationary phase provides excellent column efficiency, well-defined chromatographic peaks and favorable retention times.     

Prediction of the effects of methanol and competing ion concentration on retention in the ion chromatographic separation of anionic and cationic pharmaceutically related compounds

The mixed-mode separation of a selection of anionic and cationic pharmaceutically related compounds is studied using ion-exchange columns and eluents consisting of ionic salts (potassium hydroxide or methanesulfonic acid) and an organic modifier (methanol). All separations were performed using commercially available ion-exchange columns and an ion chromatography instrument modified to allow introduction of methanol into the eluent without introducing compatibility problems with the eluent generation system. Isocratic retention prediction was undertaken over the two-dimensional space defined by the concentration of the competing ion and the percentage of organic modifier in the eluent. Various empirical models describing the observed relationships between analyte retention and both the competing ion concentration and the percentage of methanol were evaluated, with the resultant model being capable of describing the separation, including peak width, over the entire experimental space based on six initial experiments. Average errors in retention time and peak width were less than 6% and 27%, respectively, for runs taken from both inside and outside of the experimental space. Separations performed under methanol gradient conditions (while holding the competing ion concentration constant) were also modelled. The observed effect on retention of varying the methanol composition differed between analytes with several analytes exhibiting increased retention with increased percentage methanol in the eluent. An empirical model was derived based on integration of the observed t_R vs. %methanol plot for each analyte. A combination of the isocratic and gradient models allowed for the prediction of retention time using multi-step methanol gradient profiles with average errors in predicted retention times being less than 4% over 30 different 2- and 3-step gradient profiles for anions and less than 6% over 14 different 2- and 3-step gradient profiles for cations. A modified peak compression model was used to estimate peak widths under these conditions. This provided adequate width prediction with the average error between observed and predicted peak widths being less than 15% for 40 1-, 2- and 3-step gradients for anions and less than 13% over 14 1-, 2- and 3-step gradients for cations.

Determination of Glycolate Acid,Mono‐ and Dichloroacetic Acids in Synthetical Betaine by Anion‐exchange Chromatography

An anion‐exchange chromatography method combined solid phase extraction (SPE) was developed for the simultaneous analysis of glycolate acid (GL), monochloroacetic acid (MCA) and dichloroacetic acid (DCA) in synthetical betaine products. The analytes and unknown anionic impurities were well separated on a Metrosep A supp5 anion‐exchange column (150 mm×4 mm) with 2.0 mmol/L Na₂CO₃+2.0 mmol/L NaHCO₃ solution as eluent. Suppressed conductivity detection was used. A strong cation exchange (SCX) solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridge was used to reduce the concentration of matrix betaine and a Cleanert IC‐Ag pretreatment cartridge was used to remove high Cl^? concentration. The detection limits of GL, MCA and DCA were 0.09, 0.017 and 0.05 µg/L, respectively. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) of the retention times and peak areas were less than 0.09% and 0.49%, respectively. The recoveries of the three analytes were between 90.6% and 100.8%. The analytical results showed that GL and DCA were present in high concentration and no MCA was found when the proposed ion chromatography method was applied to three synthetical betaine samples. The proposed method is simple, sensitive and timesaving, and is also suitable for routine analysis in quality control of synthetical betaine products.

Anion separations for liquid chromatography using propylpyridinium silica as the stationary phase

This work describes the characterization and potential applications of a silica-based anion-exchange phase prepared by a two-step modification process that incorporates a propylpyridinium group. The effects of pH and eluent concentration on anion separation were examined using 150 mm × 3.9 mm HPLC columns packed with the new phase. The mobile phase pH values ranged from 3.8 to 6.6 using phthalic acid/Tris solutions. The best separation was achieved using 2.5 mmol L⁻¹ phthalate/2.4 mmol L⁻¹ Tris solution at pH 4.2 as mobile phase with non-suppressed conductivity detection. The new stationary phase was used for the separation of some inorganic and organic anions showing good resolution. The stability of the silica-based anion exchange phase was also evaluated.Analytical curves, for concentrations ranging from 0.25 to 10 mg L⁻¹ for the inorganic anions chloride, nitrite, bromide and nitrate, showed good linear correlations (r > 0.998). The method was tested with certified rainwater samples. The measured and certified values were in good agreement, indicating that the new phase holds significant promise for the analysis of these anions in environmental samples.
