Simultaneous determination of six cations in mineral water by single-column ion chromatography
Abstract:
The analytical conditions for the simultaneous determination of Li+, Na+, K+, NH4+, Mg2+ and Ca2+ by ion chromatography using a Waters IC-PAK CM/D column were optimised with respect to flow-rate and eluents. Optimum separation of the cations was achieved using 5 mM HNO3 + 0.1 mM EDTA with a flow-rate of 0.6 ml/min and an analytical run time of 8 min. The results of the analysis of cations in seventeen commercially available South Korean bottled waters are presented. Although there is a reference value for drinking water quality in South Korea of 0.5 ppm, the concentration of NH4+ in the water analysed was in the range 0.3-3.0 ppm.
