β¦ Synopsis
Magnesium( II) and calcium( II) in hard water are separated by ion chromatography and detected spectrophotometrically after a post-column reaction with arsenazo-I at pH 10. No sample dilution or pretreatment is needed, and the separation is complete in 3 min. Linear calibration plots are obtained in the 2-400 mg 1-i range. Many actual water samples from a variety of geographical locations were analyzed and the results were compared with those obtained by EDTA titration. The advantages of the chromatographic method over titration are summarized.
