A general, functional relationship between the retention volume of the 2nd system peak and the chromatographic
parameters (the acid dissociation constant of the eluent component, the eluent concentration, the acid/salt ratio in the
eluent, the acid-partition coefficient) in ion chromatography with monobasic acid eluent systems (acids, salts, and their
mixtures) have been derived. The relations precisely reproduced the results by computer simulation based on the plate
theory, and were confirmed with independent experiments. By using these relations, the partition isotherm of eluent
acids to the stationary phase can be obtained easily.

Experimental
Apparatus
The chromatographic system consisted of a Tosoh
(Tokyo, Japan) CCPM pump, a Rheodyne (Cotati, CA,
USA) 8125 sample injector with a 100 µl sample loop, a
Tosoh CM-8000 conductivity detector, and a Tosoh UV-
8000 absorbance detector. The separation column was
a Tosoh IC-anion PW (4.6X50 mm).
Reagents
All chemicals were of analytical grade and were
purchased from Wako (Osaka, Japan) or Tokyo Kasei
(Tokyo, Japan), and were used without further purifica-
tion. Water was purified by using a mixed-bed ion-
exchange column and a Milli-Q Labo water purification
system.
Chromatographic procedure
Water solutions of salicylic acid, sodium salicylate, Fig. 1 Consistency between the results of PT calculations
and salicylic acid+sodium salicylate were flowed with a (symbols) and Eq. (15) (lines). Parameters: CB=0.005, Vm=
