AU137: Determination of Trace Lithium in Industrial Process Waters

Instrument Type: IC

In a variety of situations, carryover from one body of water to another is measured by monitoring a tracer compound. Lithium is a good choice for a tracer because it is very soluble and has a low background concentration in public water supplies. This Application Update describes a rapid and sensitive ion chromatographic method for the determination of trace lithium using a microbore IonPac CS12A column.
