Determination of Trace Fluoride, Chloride, and Sulfate in Lithium-Containing Borated Waters

A new method to determine trace fluoride, chloride, and sulfate in simulated borated waters containing lithium is presented in this application note from Thermo Fisher Scientific. This method is based on AN 114 and extends the analysis of anions in high-purity water to lithium-containing borated waters. Using a slightly modified eluent condition, the determination of fluoride, chloride, and sulfate is achieved with the early eluting borate peak resolved from fluoride and other target anions.
