Factors affecting the separation of these cations were investigated. Among them, type and concentration of the mobile phase electrolytes profoundly affected the retention of the analyte. The alkali metal cations were well separated on a 150 mm long Zorbax SIL column with 2.1mm i.d., using an aqueous 0.01mol dm(-3) lithium acetate as the mobile phase. Sodium and potassium in river water were determined rapidly with satisfactory accuracy. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=IwachidoTadashi en-aut-sei=Iwachido en-aut-mei=Tadashi kn-aut-name=岩知道正 kn-aut-sei=岩知道 kn-aut-mei=正 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=IshimaruKenji kn-aut-sei=Ishimaru kn-aut-mei=Kenji aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=MotomizuShoji en-aut-sei=Motomizu en-aut-mei=Shoji kn-aut-name=本水昌二 kn-aut-sei=本水 kn-aut-mei=昌二 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 en-keyword=Alkali metals kn-keyword=Alkali metals en-keyword=silica gel column kn-keyword=silica gel column en-keyword=simultaneous determination kn-keyword=simultaneous determination en-keyword=sodium kn-keyword=sodium en-keyword=potassium kn-keyword=potassium en-keyword=river water kn-keyword=river water en-keyword=ion chromatography kn-keyword=ion chromatography END
