A cation-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography with high resoluti
on inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometric detection (CE-HPLC/ICP-MS)
was developed for the determination and the speciation of aluminum in envi
ronmental samples. Three types of aluminum species (AlLx< +2, AlLx2+, Al3+)
were separated from one another, and were determined with the present syst
em. The comparison of the present system with an established CE-HPLC with f
luorimetric detection using 5-sulfo-8-quinolinol (CE-HPLC/FL) was described
. The present system showed better sensitivity for aluminum than CE-HPLC/FL
. Moreover, the analytical results for soil extract and lake water samples
obtained with both methods were in good agreement with each other.
