Synthetic Inorganic Ion-Exchangers XV. Thin-Layer Chromatography of Metal Ions on Thorium Tungstate: Quantitative Separation of Hg(II) from Several Other Metal Ions

Abstract

The analytical application of Thorium tungstate as an ion exchanger has been explored by thin-layer chromatographic (TLC) technique. Binder-free thin layers of thorium tungstate have been employed for some important binary and ternary separations. Quantitative separation of Hg(II) from the mixture of several other metal ions has been achieved.
