In the course of studies on natural beryllium isotopes, methods were developed for spectrophotometric determination of beryllium in silicates at the ppm level, for separation and purification of beryllium at this concentration from large sediment samples by solvent extraction and cation exchange, and for radiochemical purification of beryllium. The use of dispersed insoluble hydroxides on cation exchange columns permits rapid removal of beryllium, at concentrations below 10/sup -10/ M, from large volumes of sea water. This method is of more general applicability. The nature of the reaction was studied.
