Analysis of Chlorine, Bromine and Iodine in Water using ICP-AES

ICP-AES is a multi-element technique that allows the determination of 75 elements in the periodic table. One element that is desirable to analyze at the same time as other elements is chlorine. However, until recently, the analysis of halogens, especially chlorine, was usually not undertaken by ICP. This application note describes recent hardware improvements that allow the determination of Cl, Br and I by ICP-AES.
