Detection of Brighteners in Copper Plating Baths by Ion Chromatography
29 Jan 2015Brighteners are added to electroplating baths to improve the brightness of the final surface. The brightener concentration needs to be kept constant to maintain the plating quality. This application note describes the IC part of a simultaneous determination of a brightener by IC and CVS (cyclic voltammetric stripping).

Ion ChromatographyIon chromatography, also known as ion exchange chromatography, is a high-performance liquid chromatographic technique used for the separation and identification of ions or polar molecules in a sample, including proteins, nucleotides and amino acids. Equipment includes ion exchange columns, ion exclusion columns, ion chromatography systems, pumps, and detectors.

In a voltammeter the current is measured in the system whilst the voltage is varied. Usually 3 metal electrodes are required including the reference, auxiliary and working electrodes. In polarography, a subclass of voltammetry, the working electrode used is a dropping mercury electrode (DME). The 2 main types of voltammetry are cyclic and linear sweep voltammetry.Ion SeparationElectrochemistry
