Abstract
A comparative study was made of the chromatographic behaviour of five haloacetic acids (mono-, dibromoacetic and mono-, di-, trichloroacetic acids). The techniques investigated included reversed-phase ion interaction chromatography with UV detection, suppressed and non-suppressed anion-exchange chromatography. The systems are discussed studying the retention as a function of the mobile phase parameters and the stationary phases used (LiChrospher 100 RP-18, IonPac AS9, AS10 and AS11). A preconcentration step, performed on different substrates, namely LiChrolut-EN and activated vegetal carbon, has been optimized in order to reduce the method detection limits. Results obtained for drinking water samples are shown.
