Abstract: | A new capillary electrophoresis (CE) method was developed for the rapid, simple and selective determination of thiosulfate, sulfide and sulfite species. The proposed method is based on the in-capillary derivatization of separated sulfur anions by mixing their zones with the iodine zone during the electrophoretic migration and direct UV detection of iodide formed. The optimal conditions for the separation and derivatization reaction were established by varying electrolyte pH, electrolyte counter-ion, concentration of iodine, and applied voltage. The optimized separations were carried out in 20 mmol/L Tris-chloride electrolyte (pH 8.5) using direct UV detection at 214 nm. All three sulfur species were well resolved in less than 4 min. The method gives repeatability comparable or even better than this obtained for sulfur anions using standard CE technique. The proposed CE system was applied to the monitoring of sulfur anions in spent fixing solutions during the electrolytic oxidation. |
