Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
International Standard ISO 10304-4 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 147, Water quality,
Subcommittee SC 2, Physical, chemical and biochemical methods.
ISO 10304 consists of the following parts, under the general title Water quality — Determination of dissolved anions
by liquid chromatography of ions:
— Part 1: Determination of fluoride, chloride, bromide, nitrate, nitrite, orthophosphate and sulfate in water with low
contamination
— Part 2: Determination of bromide, chloride, nitrate, nitrite, orthophosphate and sulfate in waste water
— Part 3: Determination of chromate, iodide, sulfite, thiocyanate and thiosulfate
— Part 4: Determination of chlorate, chloride and chlorite in water with low contamination.

Introduction
The essential minimum requirements of an ion chromatographic system applied within the scope of this part of ISO
10304 are the following:
- Resolution power of the column: For the anion to be determined it is essential that
the peak resolution does not fall below R = 1,3
(clause 7, figure 3)
- Method of detection: a) Measurement of the electrical conductivity with
or without suppressor device
b) Spectrometric measurement (UV/VIS), directly
or indirectly
c) Amperometric direct detection
- Applicability of the method: Working ranges according to table 1
- Calibration (9.1): Calibration and determination of the linear working
range (see ISO 8466-1). Use of the method of
standard addition to special cases of application
(9.2).
- Guaranteeing the analytical quality (9.3): Validity check of the calibration function. Replicate
determinations, if necessary.
The diversity of the appropriate and suitable assemblies and the procedural steps depending on them permit a
general description only.
For further information on the analytical technique see reference [2].

Water quality — Determination of dissolved anions by liquid
chromatography of ions —
Part 4:
Determination of chlorate, chloride and chlorite in water with low
contamination
1 Scope
This part of ISO 10304 specifies a method for the determination of the dissolved anions chlorate, chloride, and
chlorite in water with low contamination (e.g. drinking water, raw water or swimming pool water).
An appropriate pretreatment of the sample (e.g. dilution) and the use of a conductivity detector (CD), UV detector
(UV) or amperometric detector (AD) make the working ranges given in table 1 feasible.
Table 1 — Working ranges of the analytical method
Anion Working range Detection
mg/l*
Chlorate 0,03 to 10 CD
Chloride 0,1 to 50 CD
Chlorite** 0,05 to 1 CD
0,1 to 1 UV; λ=207 nm to 220 nm
0,01 to 1
AD; 0,4 to 1,0 V
* The working range is restricted by the ion-exchange capacity of the columns. Dilute the sample in to the working range, if
necessary.
** The minimum working range for chlorite of 0,05 mg/l was obtained using calibration checks, but the round robin trials
(annex A, table A.4) showed that it is difficult to obtain this with sufficient accuracy. Thus great care shall be taken when
working in the lower range of this method.

3 Interferences
3.1 Organic acids such as mono- and dicarboxylic acids or disinfection byproducts (e.g. chloroacetic acid) can
interfere.
3.2 Dissolved organics can react with the working electrode of the amperometric detector, causing a decrease in
sensitivity.
3.3 The presence of fluoride, carbonate, nitrite and nitrate can cause interference with the determination of
chlorate, chloride and chlorite. The respective concentrations given in table 2 are typical for conductivity, UV and
amperometric detectors.
3.4 Elevated loads of chloride and bromide can cause interference with the determination of chlorite and chlorate.
Remove chloride and bromide with the aid of special exchangers (8.2).
3.5 Solid particles and organic compounds (such as mineral oils, detergents, and humic acids) shorten the life-time
of the separator column. They are therefore eliminated from the sample prior to analysis (clause 8).

* In case the quality requirements in clause 7 (e.g. see figures 2 and 3) are not achieved, the sample shall be
diluted.
4 Principle
Liquid chromatographic separation of chlorate, chloride, and chlorite is carried out by means of a separator column.
A low-capacity anion exchanger is used as the stationary phase, and usually aqueous solutions of salts of weak
mono- and dibasic acids as mobile phases (eluent, 5.11).
Detection is by conductivity (CD), UV or amperometric detector (AD).
When using conductivity detectors it is essential that the eluents have a sufficiently low conductivity. For this
reason, conductivity detectors are often combined with a suppressor device (cation exchangers) which will reduce
the conductivity of the eluent and transform the sample species into their respective acids.
UV detection measures the absorption directly or indirectly.
Amperometric detection of chlorite is carried out via measurement of the current generated by the oxidation of
chlorite. The oxidation voltage for chlorite depends on the pH of the eluent. The use of carbon electrodes has
proved successful.
The concentration of the respective anions is determined by a calibration of the overall procedure. Particular cases
may require calibration by means of standard addition (spiking).
5 Reagents
Use only reagents of recognized analytical grade. Carry out weighing with an accuracy of 1% of the nominal mass.
The water shall have an electrical conductivity of < 0,01 mS/m and shall not contain particulate matter of a particle
size > 0,45 μm. An increase in electrical conductivity due to an uptake of carbon dioxide does not interfere with the
determination.

5.11 Eluents
Different eluents are used, their choice depending on the type of separator column and detector. Therefore, follow
the column manufacturer´s instructions for the exact composition of the eluent. The eluent compositions described
in 5.11.1.2, 5.11.1.4, 5.11.2.2 and 5.11.2.3 are examples only.
A selection of reagents for common eluents is presented in 5.1 to 5.7. Preparing eluents from concentrates has
proved successful.
Degas all eluents. Take steps to avoid any renewed air pick-up during operation (e.g. by helium sparging). In order
to minimize the growth of bacteria or algae, store the eluents in the dark and renew every 3 d.
5.11.1 Examples of eluents for ion chromatography using the suppressor technique
For the application of the suppressor technique, sodium hydroxide and salt solutions of weakly dissociated acids
such as sodium carbonate/sodium hydrogencarbonate, sodium hydrogencarbonate, and sodium tetraborate can be
used.
5.11.1.1 Sodium carbonate/sodium hydrogencarbonate concentrate
For the eluent concentrate preparation:
Place 19,1 g of sodium carbonate (5.2) and 14,3 g of sodium hydrogencarbonate (5.1) into a graduated flask of
nominal capacity 1000 ml, dissolve in water (clause 5) and dilute to volume with water.
The solution contains 0,18 mol/l of sodium carbonate and 0,17 mol/l of sodium hydrogencarbonate. This solution is
stable for several months if stored at 2 °C to 6 °C.
5.11.1.2 Sodium carbonate/sodium hydrogencarbonate eluent
The following eluent is applicable for the determination of chlorate, chloride and chlorite:
Pipette 50 ml of the concentrate (5.11.1.1) into a graduated flask of nominal capacity 5000 ml and dilute to volume
with water (clause 5).
The solution contains 0,0018 mol/l of sodium carbonate and 0,0017 mol/l of sodium hydrogencarbonate. Store the
solution in amber-coloured glass and renew it every 3 d.
