Ion Exchange Column Performance Model for Separation of Zr(IV) and Hf(IV) in Elution Process

A mathematical model of sorption of Zirconium and Hafnium cations mixture and elution of these ions from a cation exchange resin bed is developed. Sulfuric acid is selected as the eluent for selective separation of Zr and Hf in a packed bed of Dowex cation exchange resin. The column model is a dispersed plug flow model,and assumed to consist of randomly packed synthetic and spherical resin ...
