Applications of ion chromatography

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5457939
Methods based on ion chromatography have been developed for monitoring the concentration of brightener in a plating bath used to deposit tin-lead solder on printed wiring boards. A breakdown product was monitored, and its build-up was related to a loss of plating performance. The bath was carbon treated, and the ion chromatographic method was then used to determined how much brightener and breakdown product remained. Methods have also been developed to determine aromatic amines, benzoic acids, and nonionic detergents. 2 refs., 7 figs.
