Chloride and sulfate impurities in potassium bicarbonate
Resumo
Within the scope of the modernization of USP, chloride and sulfate are determined as impurities in potassium hydrogen carbonate (bicarbonate). USP41 monograph for potassium bicarbonate does not check for chloride and sulfate. Applying ion chromatography with conductivity detection after sequential suppression allows quantifying these impurities.
