Definitions
- This invention concerns the field of ion chromatography (IC) and, more particularly, the field of high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC).
- IC ion chromatography
- HPLC high pressure liquid chromatography
- inorganic constituents in concentrated acids and bases is important in a variety of chemical and other processes.
- IC ion chromatography
- anion samples that are highly basic (high concentration of hydroxide) or cation samples that are highly acidic (high concentration of hydronium ions) are difficult to analyze by IC because the high concentration of hydroxide or hydronium ions mask the ion peaks (either anion or cation, respectively) of interest.
- one method used in the art is to pretreat the sample using an ion resin or ion exchange bed to remove the interfering ions (e.g., the hydroxide ions in anion analysis and hydronium ions in cation analysis) from the sample.
- the interfering hydroxide or hydronium ions may be removed by passing the sample through an ion-exchange bed or ion exchange resin which removes the interfering ions according to the following neutralization reaction:
- One prior art method for accomplishing the above described neutralization of interfering ions is passing the sample through a disposable pre-treatment, ion-exchange bed before flowing the sample ions to the analytical column.
- a disposable ion- exchange bed known in the art is sold by the assignee of this application, ALLTECH ASSOCIATES, Inc.
- This pre-treatment neutralization column is sold by ALLTECH under the name ALLTECH' s Maxi-CleanTM IC-OH or IC-H cartridges.
- ALLTECH devices are solid-phase extraction devices used to eliminate interfering ions
- Siriraks and Stillian disclose an electrolytically regenerated micromembrane-based technique for removing matrix interferences and neutralizing samples.
- a self-regenerating suppressor (SRS) device which is a suppressor for reducing background noise of the mobile phase after the analytical column, is also disclosed for use as a pre-treatment (e.g., before flowing the sample to the analytical column) device for neutralization of the sample.
- the SRS devise is thus disclosed as a pretreatment device for trace anion determination in concentrated bases and trace cation analysis in concentrated acids.
- Sirirak et al. avoids some of the prior art problems such as, for example, the need for disposing of the pretreatment cartridge after every run.
- the SRS device is self-regenerating.
- Sirirak et al. article those skilled in the art are referred to the above cited Sirirak et al. article.
- the SRS device uses sensitive membranes. These membranes have inherently low ion-exchange capacity, compared to ion-exchange resin beds, and require a complex recycling/monitoring scheme to completely neutralize strongly acidic or basic samples. Additionally, membrane-based suppressors are inherently fragile and are susceptible to rupturing under the high-pressures present ahead of the column in an IC system. Consequently, additional valves are required to neutralize the sample off-line and then insert it into the analysis stream. A separate stream of high-purity water is also required to feed the electrolytic micromembrane suppressor (the SRS) during regeneration, adding further expense and complication to the device.
- the SRS electrolytic micromembrane suppressor
- the present invention is intended to address the foregoing problems in the art relating to sample neutralization.
- Another pre-treatment method known in the art is pre-concentrating relatively dilute samples for better detection and quantification.
- Many samples contain trace amounts of anions and cations at levels too low to detect by direct injection into an IC system, even where interfering ions (hydroxide and hydronium) are not present.
- samples are normally pumped onto a short ion-exchange column (the pre- concentration column), which traps the sample ions of interest while the balance of the sample is flowed to waste.
- the trapped sample ions are then eluted from the pre- concentration column in a much smaller volume and, thus, at a correspondingly much greater concentration than in the original sample.
- the highly concentrated sample is then flowed to an analytical column for separation and then to a detector for detection and quantification.
- the pre-concentration column is usually installed onto a six-port sample injection valve and the sample is delivered to the pre- concentration column by a separate pump.
- this system requires an additional pump in the IC system and can also be difficult to automate.
- the present invention is also intended to address these problems as well.
- a system for electronically regenerated ion neutralization for use in ion chromatography comprising a HPLC pump, a concentrator column, an analytical column, a suppressor, a detector, a mixed-bed dionizing resin, a sample injection valve, a sample loop, a neutralization ion exchange cartridge
- the suppressor and neutralization ion exchange cartridge each comprises: a housing, the housing comprising an effluent flow channel comprising chromatography material and the effluent flow channel adapted to permit fluid flow therethrough; a first and second electrode positioned such that at least a portion of the chromatography material is disposed between the first and second electrodes, and the fluid flow through the effluent flow channel is between, and in contact with, the first and second electrodes; and a power source connected to the first and second electrodes.
- the sample injection valve comprises a six-port valve.
- a system for electronically regenerated ion concentration for use in ion chromatography comprising a HPLC pump, a concentrator column, an analytical column, a suppressor, a detector, a mixed-bed dionizing resin, a sample injection valve, a sample loop, a neutralization ion exchange cartridge
- the suppressor and neutralization ion exchange cartridge each comprises: a housing, the housing comprising an effluent flow channel comprising chromatography material and the effluent flow channel adapted to permit fluid flow therethrough; a first and second electrode positioned such that at least a portion of the chromatography material is disposed between the first and second electrodes, and the fluid flow through the effluent flow channel is between, and in contact with, the first and second electrodes; and a power source connected to the first and second electrodes.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic view of one aspect of the present invention showing the system configuration for sample loading in electronically regenerated ion neutralization.
- Fig. 2 is a schematic view of one aspect of the invention showing the system configuration for sample neutralization in electronically regenerated ion neutralization.
- Fig. 3 is a schematic view of one aspect of the invention showing the system configuration for sample analysis in electronically regenerated ion neutralization.
- self-regenerating columns are disclosed which are preferably adaptable for use in the apparatus and systems of this invention.
- These self-regenerating columns or cartridges disclosed in the co-pending applications are preferably packed with either cation or anion exchange resin and used as the neutralization column or cartridge in the electronically regenerated ion neutralization system of the present invention.
- These same self-regenerating columns are also used as the suppressor in the systems of the present invention.
- the self-regeneration columns of applicants' co-pending applications are equipped with, inter alia, electrodes which permit electrolysis of the mobile phase.
- the electrolysis of the mobile phase provides a source of, for example, hydronium or hydroxide ions, which are flowed across the exhausted or partially exhausted ion- exchange bed of the self-regenerating column.
- hydronium ions or hydroxide ions convert the exhausted ion-exchange bed or resin back to either its hydronium or hydroxide form thereby regenerating the ion-exchange bed or resin of the column.
- the suppressed detector effluent (which consists of deionized water) is the mobile phase which undergoes the electrolysis to yield the replenishing hydronium or hydroxide ions.
- the present invention overcomes some of the disadvantages of the prior art neutralization techniques. This is accomplished by using the electrochemically-regenerated ion- exchange columns of applicants' co-pending applications to neutralize samples prior to IC analysis. By regenerating the ion-exchange bed between runs (or as often as necessary) as disclosed in applicants' co-pending applications, a single packed bed may be used to neutralize multiple samples, eliminating the cost of disposable cartridges that are typically used to process only one sample.
- An additional advantage to the system of the present invention is the inherently high ion-exchange capacity of ion-exchange beds.
- the ion exchange beds of the present invention will tolerate the high backpressures typically encountered in HPLC and IC systems, and may be inserted in-line for greatly simplified operation compared to prior art micromembrane devices.
- the system of this invention is also capable of automation using existing autosamplers such as the ALLTECH 580 Autosampler, eliminating labor-intensive manual off-line disposable packed-bed procedures.
- the present invention advantageously uses the suppressed detector effluent from the IC system to push the sample through the neutralization ion-exchange bed and to provide flow during electrochemical regeneration of the neutralization column or cartridge. This eliminates the need for a separate source of deionized water, as required by the prior art micromembrane devices.
- the system preferably consists of an HPLC pump 1, a concentrator column 2, an analytical column 3, a suppressor 4, a conductivity detector 5, a mixed bed deionizing resin 6, a sample injection valve 7, a sample loop 8, neutralization ion exchange cartridge 9, and 10-port valve 10.
