Determination of Ethylene Glycol Degradation Products in Chromium Plating and Associated Polishing Solutions by Ion Chromatography

Abstract

Ethylene glycol resulting from cooling system leaks can adversely affect plating properties when added to chromium plating and associated polishing solutions. Ion chromatography can be used to monitor these leaks by quantitatively determining the glycolic, oxalic, and formic acid degradation products of ethylene glycol.
