1. A method for analyzing a composition comprising a phosphorus containing compound having a molecular weight of at least 200 daltons, wherein the method comprises
(i) introducing at least one standard sample together or sequentially with a test sample comprising the composition comprising a phosphorus containing compound together with its impurities into a stream of a solvent system, wherein the solvent system is a polar solvent comprising potassium hydroxide (KOH) or a solvent mixture comprising at least one polar solvent comprising KOH, and,
(ii) passing the standard sample and test sample through a single anion-exchange chromatography column containing particles of a cross-linked polystyrene resin, wherein the test sample comprises a solution or a slurry containing the composition comprising the phosphorus containing compound, and wherein the amount of phosphorus containing compound in the composition is above 60% by weight;
wherein the phosphorus containing compound is selected from:
(a) bisphosphonate or polyphosphonate;
(b) a hexametaphosphate;
(c) a C3-C7 cycloalkyl substituted compound with at least two —R groups wherein each —R group is —OH, —OP(O)(OH)2 or —P(O)(OH)2, and wherein at least two —R groups are independently selected from —P(O)(OH)2 and —OP(O)(OH)2 and said C3-C7 cycloalkyl is cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, or cycloheptyl;
(d) ions or salts thereof, or,
(e) a combination thereof.
