Summary

The optimization of chromatographic methods for the determination of metal species require an understanding of the mechanisms involved. In this work, the separation of Cd, Co, Cu, Fe(II/III), Mn, Pb and Zn using a mixed bed column (IonPac CS5A) and a cation-exchange column (IonPac CS2) is studied as a function of mobile phase composition. The type and concentration of complexing agent and of ionic strength modificators were evaluated. The charge of analytes were calculated using the classical ion exchange approach to highlight the effect of eluent composition on retention. The comparative study enabled us to identify an optimal eluent composition for the separation of the nine metal species.
