ABSTRACT

Okada [1] has described a redox suppression for the ion exclusion chromatography of carboxylic acids with conductiometric detection. The reaction between hydriodic acid (the eluent) and hydrogen peroxide (the precolumn reagent) is used as the redox suppressor for ion exclusion chromatography of carboxylic acids. The suppressor is useful with highly acidic eluents and reduces background conductance more effectively than a conventional ion exchange suppressor.
