Inorganic ions are generally monitored using an electrical conductivity detector. However, inorganic ions that have UV absorption, such as nitrite and nitrate ions, can also be detected using a UV detector. Thus, they can be analyzed without using an ion chromatography system nor an ion chromatography column. In this application, nitrite and nitrate ions were separated using a polymer-based amino column Asahipak NH2P-50 4E.
