Abstract
Nonsuppressed ion chromatography with a conductivity detector is used to study solutions of ions. A quantitative method is demonstrated which is based on the detector response using first an eluent with a high equivalent ionic conductance and then an eluent with a low equivalent ionic conductance. One can thus predict the number of equivalents and the equivalent ionic conductance of unidentified ions. The individual charges of the ions are deduced from a study of the adjusted retention times, so that the molar concentrations can be determined. The method does not require any prior knowledge of the identity of the sample ion or any of its physical properties. 12 references, 1 figure.
