Sorption of tellurium from solutions of telluric acid under dynamic and static conditions by anion-exchangers and amphoteric ion-exchangers containing various ionic groups was studied and the influence of the ion form, pH of the medium, presence of electrolytes, and the H/sub 6/TeO/sub 6/ concentration in the original solutions was determined. The mechanism of sorption of tellurium (VI) by anion-exchangers was deduced from sorption and IR-spectroscopic data. Differences in the behavior of tellurium and selenium were used for separating these elements in 0.05 N H/sub 2/SeO/sub 4/ + 0.05 N H/sub 6/TeO/sub 6/ solution of pH = 1.0 with the aid of EDE-10P anion-exchange resin.
