Three chelating ion-exchange resins based on macroreticular polyacrylonitrile-divinylbenzene copolymers with thioglycollic acid and cysteine as functional groups have been tested for separation of molybdenum(VI) and tungsten(VI). On a short column of the thioglycollic acid resin, molybdenum(VI) and tungsten(VI) can be selectively sorbed from pH-4.3 acetate buffer and eluted with 2M hydrochloric...

The adsorption curves of divalent metal ions (M2+) to an iminodiacetate(IDA)-type chelating resin (-L2-) under the condition of metal ions in excess against IDA groups clearly indicated the difference in contribution between two species. Copper and nickel are adsorbed only as [(-L)M(II)], while cadmium and calcium are adsorbed as [(-L)M(II)] and [(-LH)2M(II)]. Addition of salts may enhance the ...

A seawater sample was analyzed for its lanthanoids (Ln’s) contents by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The analytical procedure included the pre-concentration and partial purification of Ln’s with a chelating resin disk and the employment of the combination of the internal standard and standard addition methods in ICP-MS, which seemed indispensable for the determination of...
