Zusammenfassung

Das Verfahren beruht auf der Isotachophorese nach vorhergehender Adsorption an Kationen-Austauscher in Na-Form und Elution mit EDTA-Lösung. Für 3%ige NaCl-Lösungen mit <2000 mg/l Mg und Ca (auf pH 8 mit 0,1 N Natriumcarbonatlösung eingestellt) wurden lineare Eichkurven erhalten. Als Trägerelektrolyt diente 0,01 M Salzsäure mit 0,5% Methylcellulose, gepuffert auf pH 8,5 mit Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethan. Hauptsäule war eine 40 cm lange FEP-Röhre. Das vorgeschlagene Verfahren wurde zur Mg- und Ca-Bestimmung in Küstenwasser der Osaka-Bucht sowie in synthetischen Proben eingesetzt.

Summary

A new analytical procedure for the determination of magnesium and calcium ions in sea water was developed with a capillary type isotachophoresis after adsorption on sodium form cation-exchange resin and elution with EDTA solution. Linear working curves were obtained for 3% sodium chloride solutions containing up to 2,000 mg/l of these ions, adjusted to pH 8 with 0.1 N sodium carbonate solution. A supporting electrolyte containing 0.01 M hydrochloric acid and 0.5% methyl cellulose buffered to pH 8.5 with tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane and a 40 cm long FEP tube as the main column were used. The proposed method was applied to the determination of magnesium and calcium ions in coastal sea water samples collected in Osaka Bay in April, 1984 and in artificial samples prepared with artificial or natural sea water.
