Ion chromatography is an analytical technique that has revolutionized analysis of inorganic and organic ions, and has changed analytical chemistry in dramatic ways during the past 30 years. Due to a strong environmental impact, metal ion determination and speciation have received significant attention in the last years. Acceptance of ion chromatography for anion analysis was very rapid, primarily because of lack of alternative methods that could quickly and accurately determine anions in a single analysis. However, the situation regarding the analysis of cations was quite different, as there are many fast and sensitive spectroscopic methods, as well as polarography and stripping voltammetry. This paper is a review of application of ion chromatography for the determination of inorganic cations of alkali, alkaline earth, ammonia, heavy and transition metals as well as lanthanides and actinides in environmental samples.
