Method and apparatus for generating an acid or base, e.g., for chromatographic analysis of ions. For generating a base, a cation source, such as a salt, cation hydroxide or cation exchange resin, is provided in a cation reservoir (10) separated from a base generation chamber (12) by a permselective barrier (14). An aqueous stream (21) flows through the base generation chamber (12) containing a cation exchange material (19). An electric potential is applied between an anode (16) in the cation source reservoir (10) and a cathode (18) in the base generation chamber (12) to electrolytically generate hydroxide ions and cause cations in the reservoir (10) to electromigrate through the barrier (14) toward the cathode (18) to combine with the migrated cations to form cation hydroxide, which flows from the base generation chamber (12). |
