The feasibility of using ion chromatography (IC) in solutions
containing quaternary ammoniums is studied. The results establish the applicability
of IC for the determination of halide ions in a pharmaceutical sample without
interferences by various excipient ions. For IC measurements with suitable methodical
parameters, linearity is maintained over the range of 20 to 200 mg/L and 10.0
to 250 mg/L for the chloride and bromide of quaternary ammoniums, respectively.
A comparison of the anion results obtained from differential pulse voltammetry
shows good agreement.
