Comparison of suppressed to nonsuppressed conductivity detection for the determination of common inorganic cations

Application Note 158 Determination of Trace Sodium and Transition Metals in Power Industry Samples by Ion Chromatography with Nonsuppressed Conductivity Detection INTRODUCTION It is critical for power plants to continuously monitor corrosive ionic impurities in various plant water streams, such…

Dave Thomas and Jeff Rohrer Thermo Fisher Scientific, Sunnyvale, CA, USA Introduction The common alkali and alkaline earth cations are not considered primary drinking water contaminants in the U.S.; however they are monitored and reported by many public water suppliers…

suppressors Eluent Suppressors for Ion Chromatography Dionex introduced suppression in 1975, thereby bringing ion chromatography (IC) to the forefront of modern analytical techniques for inorganic analysis. Suppression greatly enhances signal-to-noise ratio in two ways by: • • Decreasing background eluent…
