Elements of the rare earth group are retained by a nitrate-form anion exchange column from dilute nitric acid solutions in water-isopropyl alcohol. Elution with 1.5M nitric acid in 85% isopropyl alcohol allows many less sorbable elements to be separated from the rare earths. The higher rare earths can be eluted from the column using lower percentages of isopropyl alcohol and separated from bismuth(III), lead(II), and thorium(IV), which remain on the column. (auth)
