In the framework of EU Directive 99/31/EC [1] and EU Directive 2000/76/EC [2] halogens and sulfur need to be determined on waste samples. The implementation of the combustion-IC technique would allow in one single run the combustion of the sample followed by the determination of the halogens and sulfur with ion chromatography. Moreover@ this instrument may be provided with a sample carrousel for both solids and liquids@ allowing an automation of these type of analyses. Recent developments of the C-IC technology have made this technique interesting for the determination of halogens and sulfur in waste samples. Therefore@ a document on the current progress of the C-IC technology was prepared@ including the evaluation of the performance of different commercially available systems and the presentation of analytical results obtained on certified reference materials and waste samples.
