Ion-exclusion/anion-exchange chromatography (IEC/AEC) on a combination of a strongly basic anion-exchange resin in the OH--form with basic eluent has been developed.The separation mechanism is based on the ion-exclusion/penetration effect for cations and the anion-exchange effect for anions to anion-exchange resin phase.This system is useful for simultaneous separation and determination of ammonium ion ( NH4+ ),nitrite ion (NO2-),and nitrate ion (NO3-) in water samples.The resolution of analyte ions can be manipulated by changing the concentration of base in eluent on a polystyrene-divinylbenzene based strongly basic anion-exchange resin column.In this study,several separation columns,which consisted of different particle sizes,different functional groups and different anion-exchange capacities,were compared.As the results,the separation column with the smaller anion-exchange capacity (TSKgel Super IC-Anion) showed well-resolved separation of cations and anions,In the optimization of the basic eluent,lithium hydroxide (LiOH) was used as the eluent and the optimal concentration was concluded to be 2 mmol/L,considering the resolution of analyte ions and the whole retention times.In the optimal conditions,the relative standard deviations of the peak areas and the retention times of NH4+,NO2-,and NO3- ranged 1.28％ - 3.57％ and 0.54％ - 1.55％,respectively.The limits of detection at signal-to-noise of 3 were 4.10 μmol/L for NH4+,1.87 μmol/L for NO2- and 2.83 μmol/L for NO3-.
