Pyro Copper Analysis
I have to install and control a pyrophosphate copper. Everyone says it is difficult to control so I would like some help. In particular how does one determine the pyrophosphate content? What information can be gained from the Hull cell? I anticipate no contamination in practice.

I have seen pyrophosphate analyzed by IC/HPLC before, so give that a try.

Thanks but I do not have IC nor HPLC, my company is small to justify even a cheap one. I only have wet methods available. I wondered whether a Hull cell could give enough information. I also wondered whether I could replace all cations with hydrogen on a cation exchange resin and then titrate the pyrophosphate through its pH7 buffer. Any ideas would be very welcome.
