ION-EXCHANGE SEPARATION OF METALS BY A SINGLE-PASS METHOD
BS>A single-pass methed for the ion-exchange separations of binary mixtures of metals is described, and experimental applications are presented. The method consists of complexing each of the components in the mixture with a separate complexing agent at a pH sufficient to ensure maximum coordination of the metals. The complexing agents are chosen such that the metal complexes formed are of opposite charge. The mixture is then passed through an ion- exchange resin which absorbs one species completely, allowing the other to be collected in the effluent. An anion- or cation-exchange resin is used. Sunlfosalicylic acid was used to form a negative complex with iron, uranium, aluminum, thorium, zirconium, and yttrium. Ethylenediamine was used to form a positive complex with copper, zinc, nickel, or cadmium. Quaniitative separations of binary mixtures containing one metal from each of these groups were performed at pH values 8, 9, and 10 us:ng Dowex (nuclear sulfonic cation exchange resin) and amberlite lRA-401 (quaternary amine anion-exchange resin).
