Fast Determinations of Inorganic Cations in Influent and Effluent Wastewater Samples Using High-Pressure IC
11 Mar 2015Determination of anions and cations in wastewater samples are important to municipal agencies to ensure water cleanliness and public health safety. In this study, inorganic cations in influent and effluent municipal wastewater samples are separated in 3.5 min by cation-exchange chromatography using a Thermo Scientific™ Dionex™ IonPac™ CS12A-5μm column. This fast separation was enabled on a high-pressure Reagent-Free Thermo Scientific™ Dionex™ ICS-5000+ HPIC™ system.

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. Find the best ion chromatography equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity. Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.Waste WaterWater AnalysisAnalytical methods used to test the purity of drinking water include determining the level of contaminants abides to the level set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
