Conventional silica columns dynamically modified with cetyltrimethylammonium ions were evaluated for the determination of UV-absorbing bromide, nitrate, and nitrite in seawater samples. Cetyltrimethylammonium, which is a quaternary ammonium ion, was dynamically introduced onto silica surfaces. The first layer of the modifier was introduced by electrostatic interaction, whereas the second layer was introduced by hydrophobic interaction. The latter layer worked as the anion-exchange sites. The modified conventional silica columns could be used for separation of inorganic anions. Separation of authentic mixture of five anions was achieved within 17 min. The addition of 0.1 mM cetyltrimethylammonium ion to the eluent improved the repeatability of the retention time. Seawater samples could be directly injected onto the prepared conventional silica columns, and bromide, nitrate, and nitrite levels were determined to be 69, 0.13, and 0.016 ppm, respectively.
