Distribution coefficients for twelve elements in oxalic acid medium on a strong anion-exchange resin

The distribution coefficients were determined for twelve elements, namely As(III), Ce(III), Cr(III), Co(II), Cu(II), In(III), Lu(III), Mn(II), Hg(II), Mo(VI), Sc(III) and Zn(II), on a strong base anion exchanger in pure oxalic acid solutions. The K_D curves are given. A scheme was developed for the chromatographic separation of five elements, namely As(III), Mn(II), Co(II), Zn(II) and Cu(II). Ce(III) can be separated from Lu(III).
