Studies have previously been made of the sorption of the chloride complexes of platinum(IV), platinum(II), palladium(II), rhodium(III), and iridium(III) by hydrated zirconium dioxide (HZD). The objective of the present work is the study of the sorption of the chloride complexes of iridium(IV) by HZD in similar circumstances. It has been ascertained that the kinetics of the sorption of the chloride complexes of Ir(IV) on HZD and the capacity of the sorbent are functions of the concentration of the complex, the pH of the solution and its hydrochloric-acid concentration, and the nature and concentration of the base electrolyte. The sorption of the Ir(IV) chlorocomplexes from acid solutions takes place via an ion-exchange mechanism; sorption from neutral solutions is linked to a ligand reaction between the aquated forms of Ir(IV) and the aquo and hydroxo groups of the sorbent.
