Sorption of beryllium ions by a series of amino-phosphonate amphoteric ion-exchange resins from BeF/sub 2/ solutions containing HF, NH/sub 4/F.HF, and NH/sub 4/F has been studied. The influence of the salt form of the resin, concentration of fluoride ions, and beryllium content in the original solutions was demonstrated. The mechanism of ion exchange on amphoteric ion-exchangers was postulated on the basis of chemical analysis and sorption and IR-spectroscopic data. Conclusions are drawn regarding the participation of phosphorus-containing groups of the resins in exchange. Data are presented on desorption of complex fluoride ions and beryllium from amphoteric ion-exchange resins by solutions of hydrofluoric, hydrochloric, and sulfuric acids, ammonium fluoride, and ammonium hydrogenfluoride.
