Let's ch3cooh tell us more about concentrations, etc.

Can we test if there is some Metal which forms insoluble salts with Acetate and soluble with Chloride ?

Seriously though, I would evaluate acidification, down to pH 2 or so, and pull a vacuum on it. Run this in the lab...I'm not talking about a DOE here, just run some points (i.e., pH 2, 3, 4) and pull a full vacuuum for X min.
Run sample for COD to assess qualitative performance. Quick and easy...
Good comments group.

Your point is taken. However, consider this. Given that pH is -log[H+], where H+ [=] mol/L, *AND* considering also that HCl is a strong acid that will fully disassociate, what is the concentration of HCl needed to reach pH 2?
My point is that if my previous idea does not work, pull the plug on the test before you hit the HCl-H2O azeotrope!
I hope I didn't misinterpret your remark!
