Combustion digestion and ion chromatography combined in one system.
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.
Metrohm’s CIC does it: ASTM D7359-08 Standard Test Method for Total Fluorine, Chlorine and Sulfur in Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Their Mixtures by Oxidative Pyrohydrolytic Combustion followed by Ion Chromatography Detection (Combustion Ion Chromatography-CIC)
