The amounts of rare earth ions dissolved in a potassium bicarbonate solution, as well as those of other metallic ions dissolved in potassium bicarbonate, potassium carbonate and ammonium carbonate solutions, were measured. Moreover, the minimum concentrations of potassium bicarbonate, potassium carbonate, and ammonium carbonate required to dissolve the precipitates of the metallic bicarbonate and carbonate completely were determined, and the distribution coefficients, K/sub d/, of the completely dissolved metallic ions between an anion exchange resin and a potassium bicarbortate, potassium carbonate, or ammonium carbonate solution were measured. On the basis of the findings, the dissolution and anion exchange behavior of the metallic ions is discussed, and the applicability to an analytical separation is described.
