Abstract

An ion-chromatographic method is described for the analysis of free nitrilotriacetic acid in water samples. Separations are achieved on a polymer-based anion-exchange column with 6 m M nitric acid as eluent. Both potentiometric and amperometric detection have been applied using metallic copper as the indicator electrode. Detection m=limits are at about 500 ng injected in the potentiometric mode and 100 ng in the amperometric mode. On-line sample preconcentration is possible for volumes up to 2 ml or river water samples. The response of the detector to other animopolycarboxylic and aminopolyphosphonic acids has been investigated.
