Abstract: | A suitable and sensitive ion chromatographic measuring system for determining the main components at nanogram to milligram
per liter levels in water samples from the electrodeionization process is presented. A modified Dionex system offers the possibility
for the determination of anions and cations in the samples at ng/L, μg/L and mg/L levels. The ng/L level of anions and cations
in 20–130 mL high-purity water can be analyzed immediately after preconcentration on appropriate exchange columns. The mg/L
level samples are successfully determined by use of an auto-sampler. The quantification of each ion is achieved using the
suppressor technique and a conductivity detector. Samples are taken from 5 steps of the electrodeionization process and stored
in pre-cleaned FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) at 7 °C in darkness prior to the determination of chloride, nitrate, sulfate,
carbonate, sodium, ammonium, potassium, calcium and magnesium. Eluents, ultrapure water and samples for the determination
of carbonate were passed through special glass containers and flushed with helium gas to avoid the effect of atmospheric carbon
dioxide. Results of the investigation of the cationic and anionic composition in water samples within the electrodeionization
process are presented and discussed.
