Cation-exchange distribution coefficients are presented for 45 elements with the macroreticular (macroporous) cation-exchange resin AG MP-50 in mixed hydrochloric acid/methanol media, with acid concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 6.0 M, and methanol concentrations from 0 to 90%. The ion-exchange behaviour of the elements is discussed, some possible separations are indicated, and 3 multi-element elution curves are presented, demonstrating the separations of the combinations In-Zn-Ga-Al-Yb; Cd-Li-Cu(II)-Mg-Ca; and Pt(IV)-Te(IV)-V(IV)-Fe(III)-Mn(II).     

Adsorption of some elements from hydrochloric acid by anion exchange

Anion exchange behavior of 20 anionic chemical species was studied focusing on hydrochloric acid solutions. Elution characteristics for some of these anions were followed by using a basic anion exchange resin. Estimates of distribution coefficients in 10⁻³-9 mol/l acid were obtained by analytical determinations of these elements in column effluent solutions. The adsorption data observed in this medium suggests many applications in analytical separations.     

Distribution coefficients and cation-exchange behaviour of some ammines and aquo complexes of metallic elements in ammonium nitrate solution

Comparative cation-exchange distribution coefficients of ammines and aquo complexes of Cu(II), Ni(II), Cd, Zn, Ag, Co(II)/(III), Hg(II), Pd(II), Au(III) and Pt(II) were determined in 0.1, 0.2, 0.5 and 1.0 M ammonium nitrate solution. The values for mercury(II) in ammonium chloride and of the ammine of copper(II) in ammonium citrate and ammonium sulphosalicylate solutions were also measured. The ion-exchange behaviour of the ammines is discussed and some possible separations are demonstrated by the experimental elution curves for the ion pairs Mg-Ni(II), Ca-Zn, Yb-Cd and Fe(III)-Cu(II).     

Anion exchange behaviour of the transplutonium elements in hydrochloric acid-alcohol media at elevated temperature

The use of instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) in determining selected elements in biological materials has been reported by numerous authors. Some of these have detailed the use of INAA to determine an elemental analysis in tobaccos of various geographical origins. This paper describes the first use of INAA to measure the distribution of selected inorganic elements within the tobacco leaf at a single plant stalk position for one tobacco curing routine. Three replicate plots of a common bright tobacco cultivar were grown under normal cultural conditions characteristic for the bright variety. The tobacco leaves were sampled at selected positions in the leaf. The brigh tobacco was cured in a conventional flue-curing barn using standard practices. Immediately after collection, each individual sample was freeze-dried, crushed and sampled. The leaf midrib samples were prepared using a similar procedure. A subsample of about 100 mg was taken from each sample, sealed in a polyethylene bag, irradiated in a thermal neutron flux of 2×10¹⁷ n·m^–2·s^–1 in a pneumatic rabbit system, and subsequently counted to obtain the reported data. A standard reference material was used as a comparator to yield relative elemental concentrations for Ca, Mg, Mn, Na, K, Cl and Br. The data show that chlorine, potassium, sodium and calcium have definite concentration trends within the tobacco leaf. The data also show that some elements, e.g. Mn, were more uniformly distributed throughout the leaf.     

Distribution coefficients and ion-exchange selectivities for 46 elements with a macroporous cation-exchange resin in hydrochloric acid-acetone medium

Distribution coefficients with the macroporous cation-exchange resin AG MP-50 in HCl-acetone mixtures ranging from 0.2 to 4.0M HCl and from 0 to 95% acetone have been determined for 46 elements. The ion-exchange behaviour of the elements is discussed, some possible separations are indicated, and elution curves demonstrating separations of the combinations Au(III)BiZnPbSr; Rh(III)InGaCuNi and CdFe(III)LiAlYb are presented.     

Anion exchange of some elements in acetic acid-hydrochloric acid medium

A comparative study of the adsorbability of Cd(II), Ni(II), Mn(II), Ga(III), La(III), Mo(VI) and bromide from aqueous acetic acid solutions on' Dowex 1-X8, 100–200 mesh, in the acetate and chloride forms, proved that chloride ions are indispensable for high adsorption from concentrated acetic acid solutions. A study of the adsorption isotherms of Ni(II), Mn(II) and Cd(II) on the acetate-form resin from acetic acid-hydrochloric acid solutions, showed that these elements form anionic complexes. The K_d values on RCl-exchanger, for a given acetic acid concentration, were highly dependent on the total exchange capacity of the resin. A simplified anion-exchange separation procedure in aqueous acetic acid was developed, with an adsorption step from a mixture of acetic and hydrochloric acids.     

Retention behaviour of some tri- to hexavalent elements on Dowex 1 and polyurethane foam from hydrochloric acid—potassium thiocyanate medium

Results of a systematic study on the retention behaviour of Au, Fe, Ga, Hf, In, Mo, Nb, Pa, Sb(V), Sc, Sn(IV), Ta, W and Zr on Dowex 1 and polyurethane foam (PUF) in HCl and HClKSCN medium are presented and discussed. In mixed HClKSCN solutions, a very high retention of all the elements studied [except antimony(V) and protacinium] on both materials was found. In the adsorption on PUF, anionic thiocyanate or mixed hydroxo—thiocyanate complexes are favoured. The results can be explained by a cation chelation mechanism. In anion exchange on Dowex 1, the distribution of the elements is realized predominantly either via simple monoligand or mixed polyligand chloro—thiocyanato complex anions. The systems studied offer some attractive possibilities for the preconcentration and separation of many elements. The selective separation of gold with PUF from dilute HCl solutions was tested under dynamic conditions.     

Distribution coefficients of lanthanide elements and some separations on layered hydrous titanium dioxide

Distribution coefficients /K_d/ of lanthanide elements on layered hydrous titanium dioxide, H₂Ti₄O₉.nH₂O /where n=1.2–1.3/, have been determined as a function of the pH of the aqueous phase. The plots of 1g K_d vs. pH gave straight lines with slopes equal to +3 except for the data for heavier lanthanides, suggesting ideal ion-exchange equilibria between tervalent cations in the aqueous phase and hydrogen ions in the hydrous oxide. Mutual separations of La–Cs and La–Ba have been achieved on a column of this material on the basis of large differences in affinities between the metal ion pairs.

Cation-exchange distribution coefficients with AG50W-X8, a sulphonated polystyrene resin, aie presented for 44 cations in perchloric acid solutions of concentrations varying from 0.1 to 4.0M. The cations are arbitrarily arranged in a table according to their distribution coefficients in 1.OM perchloric acid.

Selectivity sequences for uni-, bi-, ter- and quadrivalent cations are given in which the cations are ordered on the basis of the average numerical value of their distribution coefficients over the straight part of the curve obtained by plotting the logarithm of the distribution coefficient against the logarithm of [H(+)].     

Kinetics of proton exchange between semiquinone radicals and hydrochloric acid

The mechanism of proton exchange between semiquinone neutral radicals 3,6-di-tert-butyl-2-hydroxyphenoxyl (1), 6-tert-butyl-3-chloro-2-hydroxy-4-triphenylmethylphenoxyl, and hydrochloric acid in toluene solutions has been studied. The rate of proton exchange with hydrochloric acid is less than that with acetic acid owing to the higher thermodynamic stability of the radical cation formed upon semiquinone radical protonation by hydrochloric acid. The formation of radical cations and their dimers has been proven by spectroscopy.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No 1, pp. 84–87, January, 1993.

Anion-exchange behaviour of metals on deae-cellulose in hydrochloric acid-acetic acid media

The anion-exchange behaviour of 35 metal ion species on a weakly basic cellulosic ion-exchanger (DEAE-cellulose) in mixed hydrochloric acid-acetic acid media has been investigated. The sorption of metal chloro-complexes on DEAE-cellulose is greatly enhanced with increasing concentration of acetic acid. Differences in sorbability of metals allow many useful analytical separations to be conducted on short columns, containing approximately 1 g of DEAE-cellulose(Cl(-)). Procedures for the chromatographic separations of two-, three-, four- and five-component mixtures are given.
