Bromide and Bromate in Drinking Water by Suppressed Conductivity
and Mass Spectrometry (IC-MS)
Summary
Bromate - one of the disinfection byproducts
and its precursor bromide are analyzed in
water by IC-MS.
Bromate in drinking water is most commonly formed during
disinfection by ozonation of bromide-containing waters. One
of the analytical approaches to determine these two anions
successfully is coupling of an Advanced Metrohm IC System
(MIC-2
Advanced) with suppressed anion chromatography and an
Agilent MS detector.
Several types of ground water, city
tap water, surface water and
bottled water have been analysed with excellent precision
using this methodology. A method detection limit (MDL) study
resulted in a 0.1 ppb detection limit for each analyte.
