Ion-exclusion/cation-exchange Chromatography with Dual Detection of the Conductivity and Spectrophotometry for the Simultaneous Determination of Common Inorganic Anionic Species and Cations in River and Wastewater
利用統計を見る
Simultaneous determinations of common inorganic anionic species (SO_4^<2−>, Cl^−, NO_3^−, phosphate and silicate) and cations (Na^+, NH_4^+, K^+, Mg^<2+> and Ca2+) were conducted using an ion-chromatography system with dual detection of conductivity and spectrophotometry in tandem. The separation of ionic species on a weakly acidic cation-exchange resin was accomplished using a mixture of 100 mM ascorbic acid and 4 mM 18-crown-6 as an acidic eluent (pH 2.6), after which the ions were detected using a conductivity detector. Subsequently, phosphate and silicate were analyzed based on derivatization with molybdate and spectrophotometry at 700 nm. The detection limits at S/N = 3 ranged from 0.11 to 2.9 μM for analyte ionic species. This method was applied to practical river water and wastewater with acceptable criteria for the anion-cation balance and comparisons of the measured and calculated electrical conductivity, demonstrating the usefulness of the present method for water quality monitoring.
