Chloride, Cl

Last changed: 21 May 2021

Chloride is analysed with ion chromatography. The ions are separated with an anion change column. Thereafter the background is lowered with a suppressor and detection is made conductometric.

Known issues with the parameter and/or important method changes

No problems reported.
