چکیده

A user-friendly ion chromatography method in conjunction with a post-column reaction (PCR) achieves practical quantitation limits for the oxyhalides bromate and chlorite of 0.05 microg/l and 0.10 microg/l, respectively. This level of measurement allows for the accurate assessment of bromate contributed to finished drinking waters that have been chlorinated using sodium hypochlorite. The target sensitivity of oxyhalides in the presence of other major ion species typically found in drinking water is achieved by PCR using excess bromide under acidic conditions to form a tribromide species that is detected by ultraviolet spectrometry. The method setup involves non-hazardous materials, as opposed to other recently developed methods that employ somewhat hazardous chemicals for generating the reaction necessary for the detection of bromate at sub-microg/l levels. No pretreatment of the samples is required, other than filtration and quenching of oxidant residual.

Cyclodextrin-aided determination of iodate and bromate in drinking water by microcolumn ion chromatography with precolumn enrichment.

A selective and simple method for the determination of iodate (IO3-) and bromate (BrO3-) by microcolumn ion chromatography (IC) is presented. In this study, IO3- and BrO3- were determined as IBr2- and tribromide (Br3-), respectively, via a postcolumn reaction with bromide (Br) under acidic conditions with the aid of alpha-cyclodextrin (alpha-CD) in microcolumn IC. IO3- and BrO3- were selectivel...

Measurement of bromate in bread by liquid chromatography with post-column flow reactor detection.

This method is suitable for the determination of bromate residues in a variety of baked goods. The peer-verified method trial was performed on white bread, multigrain bread, and coffee cake spiked with known levels of potassium bromate. The analytical portion is extracted with deionized water to remove bromate from the bulk of the baked product. The aqueous extract is carried through a series o...

Effects of Reducing Agents and Baking Conditions on Potassium Bromate Residues in Bread

Potassium bromate is a well known dough conditioner that has been used for many years in breadmaking around the world. It is used to improve dough-handling properties, oven rise, texture, and loaf volume and to control bread properties affected by changes in wheat qualities between crop years. Potassium bromate is a slow-acting oxidizing agent. It reacts until the end of the make-up stage, mode...

Determination of Trace Concentrations of Oxyhalides and Bromide in Municipal and Bottled Waters Using a Hydroxide-Selective Column with a Reagent-Free Ion Chromatography System

INTRODUCTION All drinking water municipalities share the same goal of providing their communities with a reliable source of safe drinking water. To achieve this goal, most water systems must treat their water. The type of treatment used varies depending on the size, source, and water quality. Disinfection protects public water systems (PWSs) from potentially dangerous microbes. The most common ...
