Ion Chromatography
(IC) has been used for the on-line determination of anions and cations in a
variety of process streams. On-line monitoring of process and wastewater streams
optimizes the control of treatment methods by providing early indications of
problems that could increase discharges of hazardous compounds to the environment.
It is important for the immediate detection and remediation of process upsets
in critical streams. The waste flow to the Radioactive Liquid Waste Treatment
Facility at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is processed before discharge
and requires monitoring. Process chromatography is used to monitor the trends
of contaminants in real time. The purpose of this study is to develop an automated
on-line IC procedure for the simultaneous determination of anions in LANL wastewater.
