ICP-OES technique

Dear Sudip Saha,

for detection of lithium in potable water you may wish to consider this method which is using a Dionex DX-500 Ion Chromatography system: http://tools.thermofisher.com/content/sfs/brochures/4239-AU137_LPN0952-01.pdf

As an alternative, the lithium concentration may be determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).

Wishing you best of success,

Johannes

ICP-OES technique

A moderate proportion of lithium (5.1-10 μg / L) increases the risk of dementia by 22 percent, compared with less than lithium in water (

ICP-OES or flame atomic emission spectrometry are the best methods for lithium determination.

I agree with Johannes H. Above. Ion chromatography is the easiest method.

Li elutes first (within a few minutes) on a Thermofisher (fromaerly Dionex) cs12 column. The calibration is achieved using the action standard solutions Obtained from Thermofisher.

Nice discussions and thoughts!

Sudip.... Lithium can easily be determined by flame photometry, flame atomic absorption and ion chromatography. Thus, you may never try such expensive instrumentation like ICP. For flame photometry and atomic absorption you may add slight amount of KCl solution to avoid any possible ionization interferences. Good luck
