Abstract

A facile strong cation-exchange stationary phase based on propylsulfonic acid functionalized silica was prepared through the oxidation in situ of 3-mercaptopropyl silica and characterized by elemental analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The phase was used to separate monovalent and divalent inorganic cations with strong acid as mobile phase. Simultaneous separation of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals was examined and the cations sodium, magnesium and calcium in tap water were determined.
