Abstract

Standard protocol for the analysis of transition metals by conventional chromatographic means calls for the complexation of the transition metal cations prior to their separation. Consequently, this addition of a complexing agent does not allow for conductimetric detection of transition metals due to the high conductivity of the complexing agent in the eluent. It was therefore my intent to develop a system in which the stationary phase would act as the complexing agent and allow the analytes to be detected conductimetrically-the universal means of detection in ion chromatography.
