The separation of cerium and thoriura ions was studied with a lead-EDTA complex solution as eluant. The optimum conditions were determined as the following: the concentration of the lead-EDTA solution was 0.015 mole. pH 3.0 and the flow rate 1.0 -- 1.5 ml/min. Thorium ions were completely eluted with 200 ml of the eluant at the optimum conditions. while no cerium ions were detected in the effluent with 1000 ml of the eluant. Thus the use of a lead-EDTA complex solution as eluant was concluded to be effective for separation of cerium and thorium ions. (auth)
