Abstract: An ion chromatographic methodising porphyrin TPPS4 as post-chromatographic derivatiza-tion agent has been developed for simultaneously determining trace amounts of Hg, Cd, Zn. The factors affecting the derivatization reaction rate were investigated. Adetection system consisting of TPPS4 with PARas accelerating agent of derivatization in the buffer of Na2B4O7-NaOH(pH10.3-12) containing NaCl was proposed. Aseparation system with sillica gel chemically bonded cation exchanger as stationary phase and the tartaric acid-NaCl as mobile phase was selected for separation of these metal ions. The separation can be finished in 10 min and the elution order can be adjusted from Zn-Cd to Cd-Zn. This method was applied to the analysis of waste water, sillicate and the corn with satisfactory results.
