Chromatography IC

As a result of these reactions in the suppressor column, the sample ions are presented to the conductivity detector as H+X, not in the highly 

On the other hand, because of the nonspecific nature of the conductivity detector, the chromatograph peaks are identified only by their retention times. Thus, the two ions having the same or close retention times will be detected as one broad peak giving erroneous results. 

Sequential multi-anion capability eliminates individual determinations of anion by diverse technique. 

Large dynamic range over four decades of concentration. 

Interferences possible if two anions have similar retention times.

Residual monomers in SAN have been a growing environmental concern and can be determined by a variety of methods. Monomer analysis can be achieved by polymer solution or directly from SAN emulsions (27) followed by "head space" gas chromatography (gc) (28,29). Liquid chromatography (Ic) is also effective (30). 

Ion chromatography (IC) is a relatively new technique pioneered by Small et al.25 and which employs in a novel manner some well-established principles of ion exchange and allows electrical conductance to be used for detection and quantitative determination of ions in solution after their separation. Since electrical conductance is a property common to all ionic species in solution, a conductivity detector clearly has the potential of being a universal monitor for all ionic species. 

The simple techniques described in this section do not, of course, apply to ion chromatography (IC) or HPLC. 

The ion spray liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC-MS) interface coupled via a postsuppressor split with an ion chromatography (IC) has been used in the analysis of alcohol sulfates. The IC-MS readily produces the molecular weight while the tandem mass spectrometric detection IC-MS-MS provides structural information [305].

Ion chromatography (IC) is used increasingly in the food industry and a useful reference book was written by Weiss (1995). Henshall (1997) reviewed applications for food and beverage analysis. Recent reviews have been published for anions and cations (Buldini et al., 1997 Danielson et al., 2000) and carbohydrates (Cataldi et al., 2000). 

To apply a screening approach to proactive method development, analyses of selectivity samples under a variety of mobile phase conditions are conducted on different HPLC columns. HPLC columns should be as orthogonaT as possible and variations in solvent composition should be designed to maximize the probability of selectivity differences. Alternate separation techniques, such as ion exchange chromatography (IC), supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), or capillary electrophoresis (CE) may also be used to obtain orthogonality. 

A few DBFs, such as bromate, chlorate, iodate, and chlorite, are present as anions in drinking water. As a result, they are not volatile and cannot be analyzed by GC/MS. They are also difficult to separate by LC, but will separate nicely using ion chromatography (IC). At neutral pH, HAAs are also anions and can be separated using 1C. A number of methods have been created for these DBFs using both IC/ inductively coupled plasma (ICF)-MS and IC/ESl-MS. Fretreatment to remove interfering ions (e.g., sulfate and chloride), along with the use of a suppressor column prior to introduction into the MS interface, is beneficial for trace-level measurement. 

Graphitic sheets, however, are not detectable in the carbon-plasma by ion chromatography (IC) [162, 174, 183-185]. This method provides a means for separating carbon cluster ions with different structures because the reciprocal of the ion mobility is proportional to the collision cross-section. Several species with different structures coexist and their relative amount depends on the cluster size. Small clusters (n < 7) are linear. In the range n = 7-10 chains as well as monocycles coexist. The clusters C are exclusively monocycles and the range... 

Li or a Li compound in the flame gives a bright crimson color due to its emission of670.8 nm photons produced by the short-lived species LiOH. This is the property that allows for the spectrophotometric determination of Li by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) down to 20 ppb. Inductively-coupled plasma emission spectroscopy (ICPAES), inductively-coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICPMS), and ion chromatography (IC) improve this limit to about 0.1 ppb. A spot test for detection of Li down to 2 ppm is provided by basic KIO4 plus FeCl3.
