Abstract:
Combustion-Ion Chromatography (C-IC) has been a valuable analytical tool since its inception in the 1980s, originally used for monitoring sulfur and halogens in fuels and ores. Recently, C-IC has gained prominence as a powerful technique for screening per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination in waste streams and consumer products. This seminar will provide an overview of C-IC, emphasizing its advantages such as automation, sensitivity, and efficiency. Additionally, the discussion will cover the scope and limitations of C-IC across various applications, with a particular focus on its current use in environmental and industrial analysis.
