Abstract:
Amine gas treatment typically uses percent concentrations of alkanolamines to neutralize the sour gas acidic impurities. For the determination of ionic components, ion chromatography (IC) with suppressed conductivity detection is the analytical method of choice as previously demonstrated for cations and alkanolamines, and with coupling to mass spectrometry. The determinations of the alkanolamines and degradation products are challenging because of the variability in the composition of the neutralizing amine, degradation products, and salts; and therefore, different stationary phase selectivity is often needed. In this presentation we will review the steps in optimizing the separation method through the use of gradient ion chromatography. We will present options available for separation columns and detection.
