Scope1.1 This practice deals primarily with identifying the termsand relationships of those techniques that use ion exchangechromatog

3、raphy to separate mixtures and a conductivity detec-tor to detect the separated components. However, most of theterms should also apply to ion chromatographic techniques thatemploy other separation and detection mechanisms.1.2 Because ion chromatography is a liquid chromato-graphic technique, this p

It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices

Descriptions of Techniques3.1 Ion Chromatography, (IC)a general term for severalliquid column chromatographic techni

6、ques for the analysis ofionic or ionizable compounds. Of the many useful separationand detection schemes, those most widely used have been thetwo techniques described in 3.2 and 3.3 in which ion exchangeseparation is combined with conductimetric detection. Bydescribing only these two techniques, thi

7、s practice does notmean to imply that IC is tied only to ion exchange chroma-tography or conductimetric detection.3.2 Chemically Suppressed Ion Chromatography, (DualColumn Ion Chromatography)In this technique, samplecomponents are separated on a low capacity ion exchanger anddetected conductimetrica

8、lly. Detection of the analyte ions isenhanced by selectively suppressing the conductivity of themobile phase through post separation ion exchange reactions.3.3 Single Column Ion Chromatography, (ElectronicallySuppressed Ion Chromatography)In this technique samplecomponents are separated on a low cap

9、acity ion exchanger anddetected conductimetrically. Generally, lower capacity ionexchangers are used with electronic suppression than withchemical suppression. Mobile phases with ionic equivalentconductance significantly different from that of the sample ionsand a low electrolytic conductivity are u

10、sed, permitting analyteion detection with only electronic suppression of the baselineconductivity signal.4. Apparatus4.1 PumpsAny of various machines that deliver the mo-bile phase at a controlled flow rate through the chromato-graphic system.4.1.1 Syringe Pumps, having a piston that advances at aco

11、ntrolled rate within a cylinder to displace the mobile phase.4.1.2 Reciprocating Pumps, having one or more chambersfrom which mobile phase is displaced by reciprocating pis-ton(s) or diaphragm(s). The chamber volume is normally smallcompared to the volume of the column.4.1.3 Pneumatic Pumps, employi

12、ng a gas to displace themobile phase either directly from a pressurized container orindirectly through a piston or collapsible container. The vol-ume within these pumps is normally large as compared to thevolume of the column.4.2 Sample Inlet Systems, devices for introducing samplesinto the column.4

13、.2.1 Septum InjectorsThe sample contained in a syringeis introduced directly into the pressurized flowing mobile phaseby piercing an elastomeric barrier with a needle attached to asyringe. The syringe is exposed to pressure and defines thesample volume.4.2.2 Valve InjectorsThe sample contained in a

14、syringe(or contained in a sample vial) is injected into (or drawn into)an ambient-pressure chamber through which the pressurizedflowing mobile phase is subsequently diverted, after sealingagainst ambient pressure. The displacement is by means ofrotary or sliding motion. The chamber is a section (loo

The chamber can be completely1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E13 on MolecularSpectroscopy and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee E13.19 on Chroma-tography.Current edition approved Sept. 1, 2006.

20、he samplecomponents.4.3.5 Suppressor Columns, positioned after the separatingcolumn and a type of post column reactor where the conduc-tivity of the mobile phase is selectively reduced to enhancesample detection.4.4 Postcolumn Reactors, reaction systems in which theeffluent from the separating colum

21、ns is chemically or physi-cally treated to enhance the detectability of the sample com-ponents.4.4.1 Conductivity Suppressors, post column reactors inwhich the conductivity of the mobile phase is reduced throughreactions with ion exchangers. Conductivity suppressors aredifferentiated by their type (

22、cationic or anionic), by their form(H+,Na+, etc.), and by their method of regeneration (batch orcontinuous).4.4.2 Suppressor ColumnsTubular reactors packed withion exchangers. Suppressor columns require batch regenerationwhen the breakthrough capacity of the column is exceeded.4.4.3 Membrane Suppres

23、sorsReactors made from tubularshaped ion exchange membranes. On the inside of the tubeflows the mobile phase; a regenerative solution surrounds thetube. These membrane suppressors can be in the form of anopened tube, hollow fiber suppressors, or a flattened tube forhigher capacity. Tubular membranes

24、 can be packed with inertmaterials to reduce band broadening.4.4.4 Micromembrane SuppressorReactors made fromtwo sizes of ion-exchange screen. A fine screen is used for themobile phase chamber and a coarse screen is used for theregenerant chambers. The mobile phase screen is sandwichedbetween ion-ex

25、change membranes, and on either side of eachmembrane is a regenerant screen. The stack is laminated bypressure, causing intimate contact between screens and mem-branes. Mobile phase passes through a hole in the upperregenerant screen and membrane. It enters the screen-filledmobile phase chamber and

26、passes through it. It then exitsthrough a second set of holes in the upper membrane andregenerant screen. The regenerant flows countercurrent to themobile phase through the screen-filled regenerant chamber.4.5 DetectorsDevices that respond to the presence ofeluted sample components. Detectors may be

27、 divided eitheraccording to the type of measurement or the principle ofdetection.4.5.1 Bulk Property Detectors, measuring the change in aphysical property of the liquid phase exiting the column. Thusa change in the refractive index, conductivity, or dielectricconstant of a mobile phase can indicate

28、the presence of elutingsample components. Conductimetric parameters, symbols,units and definitions are given in Appendix X1.4.5.2 Solute Property Detectors, measuring the physical orchemical characteristics of eluting sample components. Thus,light absorption (ultraviolet, visible, infrared), fluores

29、cence,and polarography are examples of detectors capable of re-sponding in such a manner.5. Reagents5.1 Mobile PhaseLiquid used to sweep or elute thesample components through the chromatographic system. Itmay consist of a single component or a mixture of components.5.2 Stationary PhaseActive immobil

30、e material within thecolumn that delays the passage of sample components by oneof a number of processes or their combination. Inert materialsthat merely provide physical support for the stationary phaseare not part of the stationary phase. The following are threetypes of stationary phase:5.2.1 Liqui

31、d PhaseA stationary phase that has beensorbed (but not covalently bonded) to a solid support. Differ-ences in the solubilities of the sample components in the liquidand mobile phase constitute the basis for their separation.5.2.2 Interactive SolidAstationary phase that comprises arelatively homogene

32、ous surface on which the sample compo-nents sorb and desorb effecting a separation. Examples aresilica, alumina, graphite, and ion exchangers. In ion chroma-tography the interactive material is usually an ion exchangerthat has ionic groups that are either ionized or capable ofdissociation into fixed

33、 ions and mobile counter-ions. Mobileionic species in an ion exchanger with a charge of the samesign as the fixed ions are termed “co-ions.” An ion exchangerwith cations as counter-ions is termed a “cation exchanger,”and an ion exchanger with anions as counter-ions is termed an“anion exchanger.” The

34、 ionic form of an ion exchanger isdetermined by the counter-ion, for example, if the counter-ionsare hydrogen ions then the cation exchanger is in the acid formor hydrogen form, or if the counter-ions are hydroxide ionsthen the anion exchanger is in the base form or hydroxide form.Ionic groups can b

35、e covalently bonded to organic polymers (forexample, styrene/divinylbenzene) or an inorganic material (forexample, silica gel). Ion exchange parameters, symbols, unitsand definitions are given in Appendix X2. Separation mecha-nisms on ion exchangers are described in Appendix X3.5.2.3 Bonded PhaseA s

36、tationary phase that comprises achemical (or chemicals) that has been covalently attached to asolid support. The sample components sorb onto and off thebonded phase differentially to effect separation. Octadecylsilylgroups bonded to silica represent a typical example for abonded phase.5.3 Solid Supp

37、ortInert material to which the stationaryphase is sorbed (liquid phases) or covalently attached (bondedphases). It holds the stationary phase in contact with the mobilephase.E 1151 93 (2006)25.4 Column PackingThe column packing consists of allthe material used to fill packed columns. The two types a

38、re asfollows:5.4.1 Totally Porous PackingOne where the stationaryphase is found throughout each porous particle.5.4.2 Pellicular PackingOne where the stationary phaseis found only on the porous outer shell of the otherwiseimpermeable particle. Surface agglomerated packings are con-sidered to be a ty

39、pe of pellicular packing.6.

Peak width at base or base width, (KL in Fig.X1.1) is the retention dimension of the peak base interceptedby the tangents drawn to the inflection points on both sides ofthe peak. Peak width at half height, (HJ in Fig. X1.1) is theretention dimension drawn at 50

43、 % of peak height parallel tothe peak base. The peak width at inflection points, (FG in Fig.X1.1), is the retention dimension drawn at the inflection points(= 60.7 % of peak height) parallel to the peak base.7.

Separation MechanismsX1.1 Ion Exchange ChromatographySample and mobilecounter-ions compete to form

48、neutral ion pairs with the fixedions of an ion exchanger. When paired, the sample ions do notmove through the ion exchange column. Separation is achievedbecause the fixed ions have different thermodynamic complex-ation constants resulting in chromatographic selectivity be-tween ions.TABLE X1.1 Condu
