Summary of Test Method4.1 Inorganic cations and the ammonium cation, hereafter referred to as ammonium, are determined by ion chromatography inwater and was

18、tewater samples from a fixed sample volume, typically 1050 L. The cationic analytes are separated using acation-exchange material, which is packed into guard and analytical columns.Adilute acid solution is typically used as the eluent.4.1.1 The separated cations are detected by using conductivity de

19、tection. To achieve sensitive conductivity detection, it isessential that the background signal arising from the eluent have low baseline noise. One means to achieve low background noiseis to combine the conductivity detector with a suppressor device that will reduce the conductance of the eluent, h

20、ence backgroundnoise, and also transform the separated cations into their more conductive corresponding bases.44.1.2 Detection can also be achieved without chemical suppression, whereby the difference between the equivalent ionicconductance of the eluent and analyte cation is measured directly after

21、 the analytical column. This test method will consider bothsuppressed and nonsuppressed detection technologies. The conductivity data is plotted to produce a chromatogram that is used todetermine peak areas. A chromatographic integrator or appropriate computer-based data system is typically used for

22、 datapresentation.4.2 The cations are identified based on their retention times compared to known standards. Quantification is accomplished bymeasuring cation peak areas and comparing them to the areas generated from known standards. The results are calculated usinga standard curve based on peak are

23、as of known concentrations of standards in reagent water.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is applicable to the simultaneous determination of dissolved alkali and alkaline earth cations andammonium in water and wastewaters. Alkali and alkaline earth cations are traditionally determined by

24、using spectroscopictechniques, such as AAS or ICP; whereas ammonium can be measured by using a variety of wet chemical methods, includingcolorimetry, ammonia-selective electrode, and titrimetry. However, ion chromatography provides a relatively straightforwardmethod for the simultaneous determinatio

25、n of cations, such as lithium, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and ammonium,in fewer than 2030 min.6. Interferences6.1 No individual interferences have been established, but it is possible that some low-molecular-weight organic bases (amines)may have similar retention times to analytes of int

26、erest, particularly later-eluting solutes, such as potassium, magnesium, andcalcium. Potential interferences include amines such as mono-, di-, and trimethylamines; mono-, di-, and triethylamines; andalkanolamines.6.1.1 High concentrations of analyte cations can interfere with the determination of l

27、ow concentrations of other analyte cationswith similar retention times. For instance, high levels of sodium can interfere with the determination of low levels of ammonium(that is, at ratios 1000:1).6.1.2 High levels of sample acidity, that is, low pH, can also interfere with this analysis by overloa

28、ding the column, leading topoor peak shape and loss of resolution. The pH at which the chromatographic separation begins to exhibit poor peak shape dependsupon the ion-exchange capacity of the column. It is recommended that columns used for analysis of acidic samples in conjunctionwith the suppresse

29、d conductivity version of this test method be able to tolerate acid concentrations up to 50 mM H+ (pH 1.3), suchas the IonPacIonPac5 CS16 column. The columns used with nonsuppressed conductivity detection typically have lower capacityand can tolerate acid concentrations up to 10 mM H+ (pH 2.0), such

30、 as the trademarked IC-Pak C/MD column.6.2 A slight decrease or increase in eluent strength often allows interferences to elute after or before the peak of concern.6.3 Sodium is a common contaminant from many sources such as fingers, water, detergents, glassware, and other incidentalsources. As a pr

31、ecaution, the user of this test method is advised to wear plastic gloves and use plasticware for all solutions,standards, and prepared samples. In addition, method blanks should be monitored for background sodium contamination.4 International Standard ISO 14911.International Standard ISO 14911, Wate
