THE SEPARATION OF THE RARE EARTHS BY PARTITION CHROMATOGRAPHY WITH REVERSED PHASES. PART I. BEHAVIOUR OF COLUMN MATERIAL

Journal Article · · J. Chromatog.
The complexing agent di-(2-ethylhexyl) orthophosphoric acid, which is known to have a good average separation factor for adjacent rare earths, was retained on a poly(vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate) copolymer, and this mixture used as column material for chromatographic elution of the rare earths. This column material can be conveniently prepared with reproducible behavior, sharp elution peaks being obtained at a running temperature of 60 deg , and a third power dependency of (I/R/sub F/ --I) upon the hydrogen ion concentration of the eluting phase was found at several different loadings of the polymer with complexing agents.
