The development of a rapid method for the determination of perchlorate in rain and drinking waters is presented. In the optimised method, an on-line preconcentration technique was employed utilising a 10 mm x 4.6 mm Phenomenex Onyx monolithic guard cartridge coated with (N-dodecyl-N,N-dimethylammonio)undecanoate for selective preconcentration, with subsequent elution into a fixed volume injection loop ('heart-cut' of the concentrator column eluate) and separation using an IonPac AS 16 (250 mm x 2 mm) anion exchange column and a potassium hydroxide concentration gradient. Off-line optimisation studies showed that the coated monolith displayed near quantitative recovery up to 50 mu g/L perchlorate level from standards prepared in reagent water. On-line preconcentration of perchlorate obtained detection limits down to 56 ng/L in reagent water, between 70 and 80 ng/L in rainwater samples and 2.5 mu g/L in non-pretreated drinking water. After an additional sample sulphate/carbonate removal step, low ng/L perchlorate concentrations could also be observed in drinking water. The complete on-line method exhibited reproducibility for n = 10 replicate runs of R.S.D.
