Summary of Test Method4.1 An aliquot of sample is injected into an ion chromatograph. The sample is pumped through two columns, a suppressordevice, and into a conductivity de

31、tector. The analytical column and the guard column are packed with anion exchange resin. Ionsare separated based on their affinity for the exchange sites of the resin. The suppressor device contains a fiber- or membrane-basedcation exchanger that is continuously regenerated by either a flow of dilut

32、e sulfuric acid or an electrolytic suppressor which doesnot require sulfuric acid. The suppressor device reduces the background conductivity of the eluent to a low or negligible level byreplacing the cations with the hydrogen ion, thereby converting the anions in the sample to their corresponding ac

33、ids.The separatedanions in their acid form are measured using an electrical-conductivity cell. Anions are identified based on their retention timescompared to known standards. Quantitation is accomplished by measuring the peak height or area and comparing it to a calibrationcurve generated from know

34、n standards.5. Significance and Use5.1 Ion chromatography provides for both qualitative and quantitative determination of seven common anions, F, Cl, NO2,HPO4 2, Br, NO3, and SO42, in the milligram per literlitre range from a single analytical operation requiring only a fewmillilitersmillilitres of

35、sample and taking approximately 10 to 15 min for completion.Additional anions, such as carboxylic acids,can also be quantified.NOTE 2This test method may be used to determine fluoride if its peak is in the water dip by adding one1 mL of eluent (at 100 the concentrationin 8.3) to all 100-mL volumes o

36、f samples and standards to negate the effect of the water dip. (See 6.3, and also see 6.4.) The quantitation of unretainedpeaks should be avoided.Anions such as low molecular weight organic acids (formate, acetate, propionate, etc.) that are conductive coelute with fluorideand would bias fluoride qu

37、antitation in some drinking waters and most wastewaters. The water dip can be further minimized if measures are taken toremove carbonic acid which remain in the eluent after suppression using carbonate based eluents. There is no water dip if hydroxide eluents are used.5.2 Anion combinations such as

38、Cl/Br and NO2/NO3, which may be difficult to distinguish by other analytical methods,are readily separated by ion chromatography.D4327 1736. Interferences6.1 Since chloride and nitrite elute very close together, they are potential interferents for each other. It is advisable not to haveone of these

39、anions present in a ten-fold excess over the other; that is, Cl/NO2 ratios higher than 1:10 or 10:1 if both ions areto be quantitated or refer to newer column technology.6.2 As with other types of chromatography, if one of the sample components is present at very high levels, it may interfere bycaus

40、ing a very large peak on the chromatogram that could mask other peaks present. This type of interference is normallyminimized by dilution of the sample (see Annex A1) and in some instances may be corrected if the concentration of that anionis of interest. However, care should be taken not to dilute

41、the analyte concentration below its detectable limit.6.3 Water from the sample injection will cause a negative peak or dip in the chromatogram when it elutes, because itsconductivity is less than that of the suppressed eluent. This dip usually occurs before Cl. Any peak of interest eluting near thew

42、ater dip must be sufficiently resolved from the dip to be accurately quantified. Some suggested techniques for elimination of thewater dip are described in Appendix X1.6.4 There may be a water dip and the interference of organic acids and due to the presence of carbonate ions in the separatorcolumn,

43、 the user of this test method is urged to use caution when determining fluoride (see Note 2). If the user wishes to be certainof good results and has interfering anions present when determining fluoride, the eluent can be diluted until separation of fluorideand carbonate is accomplished. This will c

44、ause an increase in retention time for anions such as sulfate to elute. Additional stepsto avoid the water dip are mentioned in Appendix X1.7. Apparatus7.1 Ion ChromatographThe ion chromatograph should have the following components assembled, as shown in Fig. 2:57.1.1 Eluent and Regenerant Container
