Abstract: | Traces of Mn(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) and minor amounts (up to 20 mg of these elements are separated from gram amounts of tellurium by cation-exchange chromatography on small columns (3 g) of macroporous AG MP-50 resin or larger colunns (5 g) of microporous AG 50W-X8 resin. The trace elements are retained from 0.5 M HCl containing 70% acetone while tellurium passes through and is eluted completely with this solution. The trace elements are then eluted with 3.0 M HCl and can be determined by atomic absorption spectrometry. Copper (II) can also be separated but requires a 10-g column of AG MP-50 resin. Separations are sharp and quantitative and only microgram amounts of tellurium remain in the trace element fraction when a 3-g sample of tellurium dioxide is taken; 10-μg amounts of the trace elements were separated from such samples and determined with standard deviations of <1%. Relevant elution curves and results for the analysis of synthetic mixtures are presented. |
