Separation and Identification op Metal Ions by Reversed Phase Then Layer Chromatography

Abstract

Conditions for the simultaneous separation and identification of as many as ten different metal ions have been established using the technique of reversed-phasethin-layer chromatography. Complete resolution of the ten ions in sub-microgram amounts was achieved using a liquid ion exchanger supported on cellulose. The total time for the analysis was 3–4 hours.
