Determination of Trace Sodium and Transition Metals in Power Industry Samples by Ion Chromatography with Nonsuppressed Conductivity Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction It is critical for power plants to continuously monitor corrosive ionic impurities in various plant water streams, such as cooling waters, boiler waters, feed waters, and steam condensates. The presence of impurities above a specified concentration can result in stress-corrosion cracking and other corrosion mechanisms, and therefore have a significant negative impact on power generation. Damage from corrosive ions can cause forced outages and component failures, costing millions of dollars in lost revenue.1,2 The continuous monitoring of ionic species provides valuable information regarding the source of contamination, assists power plants in understanding corrosion mechanisms, allows recommendations for appropriate treatment to prevent corrosion impacts, and produces concentration trends for individual ions over a length of time. This information can be used to minimize corrosive damage.

Fast Monitoring of the Phosphate Ions at Sub-mg L level with the Aim of Diamine-grafted MCM-41 Mesoporous silica and Ion Chromatography
In this work, an innovative method is described for the preconcentration of phosphate ions using ethylenediamine functionalized mesopor (MCM-41). Functionalized MCM-41 was synthesized and the presence of organic groups in the silica framework was demonstrated by FTIR spectrum. The amount of organic groups immobilized on silica surface was determined by elemental analysis and TGA. The functi...
متن کاملComparison of Suppressed to Nonsuppressed Conductivity Detection for the Determination of Common Inorganic Cations
INTRODUCTION In 1975, Small and coworkers first introduced the concept of ion chromatography (IC) that allowed the sensitive detection of ions using suppressed conductivity detection. A significant portion of this work was dedicated to cation analysis. The original components described by Small et al. for the separation of cations included a low-capacity, sulfonated polystyrene/ divinylbenzene ...

متن کاملDirect determination of free cyanide in drinking water by ion chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection.
Cyanide is a regulated contaminant in drinking water in the United States. This paper describes an ion chromatography method with pulsed amperometric detection (PAD) that directly determines free cyanide in drinking water. Samples are treated with sodium hydroxide to stabilize cyanide and with a cation-exchange cartridge to remove transition metals. Cyanide is separated by anion-exchange chroma...
