3, the water regenerant undergoes electrolysis to form hydroxide ions in the cathode
surface along with hydrogen gas while hydronium ions are formed in the anode surface along
with oxygen gas. In the cation suppressor, anion exchange materials such as screens,
membranes and resins allow hydroxide ions to move from the cathode chamber into the eluent
chamber to neutralize the acid eluent. MSA ions or eluent or sample counter-ions in the eluent
are driven by the applied electric potential towards the anode and combine with the hydronium
ions generated at the anode to form methane sulfonic acid waste. Hydroxide ions can also travel
all the way from the cathode and combine with hydronium ions at the anode to form water, thus
effecting suppression of the eluent and conversion of the analyte to a typically more conductive
base form.
