Mutual Separation of Gallium, Indium and Zinc Using Silica Gel Modified by a Surfactant Micelle Containing D2EHPA

Separation and preconcentration of gallium(III), indium(III), and thallium(III) using new hydrazone-modified resin.

Ga(III), In(III) and Tl(III) ions in the presence of different sulfate salts have been successfully separated using 1-(3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde)-2-acetylpyridiniumchloride hydrazone (DAPCH) loaded on Duolite C20 in batch and column modes. The obtained modified resin as well as the metal complexes was characterized by elemental analysis and infrared spectra. The extraction isotherms were determ...

Cetylpyridinium Chloride Micelle-mediated Mutual Separation of Zinc, Cadmium, and Mercury Ions by Thin-layer Chromatography

Cationic surfactant-mediated systems containing different concentrations of cetylpyridinium chloride have been used as mobile phases in thin-layer chromatographic separation of metal cations on silica layers. The effect of surfactant concentrations below and above the critical micelle concentration (CMC) on the retention behaviour of metal ions was examined. The best TLC system for rapid mutual...

Separation of Cationic Species by Ion Chromatography Using Zirconium−Modified Silica Gel as Stationary Phase

Ion chromatography (IC), developed by Small et al. [1], is widely recognized as a simple and powerful analytical technique for the determination of various inorganic and organic anions and cations [2]. Sulfonated and carboxylated polymer resins and silicas are commonly employed as cation−exchange stationary phases in IC for cationic species. The application of unmodified silica gels as cation−e...

Separation of Nickel and Zinc Ions in a Synthetic Acidic Solution by Solvent Extraction Using D2ehpa and Cyanex 272

Solvent extraction was used to recover nickel and zinc from synthetic acidic solution. Many leaching solution and waste waters contain both zinc and nickel at the same time. Bis (2,4,4trimethylpentyl) phosphinic acid (Cyanex 272) and Di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) were used to separate nickel and zinc. In the D2EHPA system, at equilibrium pH of 2, zinc extraction was more than 98% wh...
