Quantitative Separation of Pd(II) by TLC of Metal Ions on Cerium (IV) Antimonate

Abstract

A quantitative TLC separation of metal ions using cerium (IV) antimonate as the solid phase are described. Using an acetonitrile- HNO₃ solvent Pb²⁺ can be separated quantitatively (2–10 μg) from several other ions. A quantitative spectrophotometric assay using p-nitroso-dimethylaniline is proposed.
