Chemical and x-ray investigation on zirconyl phosphates led to the elucidation of some aspects of the structure of a crystalline compound with a constant phosphate/zirconium ratio of 5/3. The ion-exchange properties of this compound were investigated by studying the mode of dissociation and the total exchange capacity. The total capacity amounts to 4.3 plus or minus 0.10 meq/g at pH - 7.5 and the capacitycomposition curve indicates that in acid and neutral media the phosphate groups only are responsible for the exchange capacity. A crystallographic investigation led to the determination of a cubic structure with parameter a - 9.04 A. ln conjunction with density measurement it was possible to calculate the molecular weight of one chain unit (M == 878).
