| Abstract: | Abstract The extraction chromatography of manganese(II) was developed using tributyl phosphate as extractant from thiocyanate media with silica gel as the stationary phase. Manganese was extracted from 1.5 M ammonium thiocyanate, stripped with mineral acids and determined spectrophotometrically at 450 nm. It was separated from alkali metals, Mo(VI), nickel, silver and lead by selective extraction, and from iron(III), zinc, cobalt by selective stripping. The method was extended for the analysis of manganese in samples of soil and minerals. |
