Analysis of main components

Ion chromatographic analysis methods ensure speed and high precision in the analysis of main components as well as of reaction and decomposition products in electroplating baths. The advantage of ion chromatography relative to the partly unspecific wet chemical methods utilized so far lies in the selectivity of the stationary phases and the detection systems being used. Thus, in most cases sample preparation is limited to a simple dilution with de-ionized water and subsequent filtration. A variety of applications on the basis of electrodeposition and electroless plating is summarized in Table 8-3.
