AN277: Fast and Sensitive Determination of Transition Metals in Power Industry Waters Using Ion Chromatography

Instrument Type: IC

This study describes the separation of iron (III), copper (II), nickel (II), and zinc (II) complexes with PDCA followed by postcolumn PAR reaction and absorbance detection at 530 nm. Surrogate samples include spiked deionized (DI) water (Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) surrogate) and spiked borated water containing lithium hydroxide with or without added zinc (Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) surrogates).
