Wastewater analysis is an important area in analytical and environmental chemistry. It can be performed with both the classic wet methods instrumental techniques. The development of new methods, modification existing ones, constitute a major task for researchers. Ion chromatography plays predominant role ion determinations methods. offers several advantages over conventional such as simultaneous alkali alkaline earth cations ammonia. Ammonium ions cannot determined by spectroscopic has been accepted world-wide reference method analyzing anions water wastewater due to fact that it enables replacement individual chemistry common one technique. following article describes principles chromatography, stationary phases, eluents, detectors, sample preparation Moreover, applications analyses international standards are presented.
