Ion Chromatography
Ion chromatography is a liquid chromatography method that separates ions and polar molecules based on their relative affinity for the ion exchange resin in the column. Developed by Hamish Small in 1975, it combines ion-exchange separation with conductivity detection, enabling rapid, sensitive, and simultaneous determination of multiple ions in a single analysis. Ion chromatography has become an indispensable tool for monitoring environmental pollutants, analyzing food and pharmaceutical products, and studying complex ionic mixtures.
