Combustion Ion Chromatography (CIC) extends the range of ion chromatography to all types of combustible samples.
In CIC the samples are first digested under an argon atmosphere in the oven unit and then burnt with oxygen. In the 920 Absorber Module, the resulting gaseous compounds are passed into an absorption solution, which is then transferred inline to a Metrohm ion chromatography system, where it is analysed.
Combustion Ion Chromatography (CIC) extends the range of ion chromatography to all types of combustible samples. The focus here is primarily on the simultaneous determination of the various halogens and sulfur in widely differing matrices. The Metrohm CIC System, including sample preparation, is completely automated. CIC is superior to offline digestion methods with regard to sample throughput on the one hand and precision and correctness of the results on the other. With CIC, unlike with alternative methods, the concentrations of the different halogens can each be determined separately.
