Abstract:
Apparatus for eliminating halide ions from aqueous solutions having a hollow cylindrical sample holding chamber, with a front end and an open rear end, the front end has an orifice; and in the vicinity of which is disposed a filter plate that extends over the cross section of the sample holding chamber and is liquid-permeable and essentially impermeable for solids and is inserted in a fixed manner into the hollow cylindrical sample holding chamber; a plunger which can move to and fro in the sample holding chamber and having a plunger stem which engages in the open rear end of the sample holding chamber, and, in the sample holding chamber between the filter plate and the plunger is disposed a bed of finely divided particulate adsorbent which particles are freely movable with respect to one another within the sample holding chamber, the adsorbent reacting with halide ions and forming a sparingly soluble compound, which bed fills a part of the sample holding chamber.
