Abstract
A liquid chromatographic system is provided including catalytically combining hydrogen and oxygen gases in the chromatography eluent stream in a catalytic gas elimination chamber, to form water and thereby reduce the gas content in the eluent stream. Also, a liquid ion chromatographic system in which the effluent from the detector is recycled to a membrane suppressor and then is mixed with a source of eluent for recycle to the chromatographic column.
Claims2
A chromatography apparatus comprising:
- (a) chromatographic separation medium,
- (b) a detector,
- (c) a conduit for an aqueous liquid eluent stream providing fluid communication between said chromatographic separation medium and with said detector, and
- (d) a catalytic gas elimination chamber in fluid communication with said conduit and including a catalyst for combining hydrogen and oxygen gases, or for catalytically decomposing hydrogen peroxide, or both, in said eluent stream to form water and reduce the gas content in said eluent stream.
