Silica Based Double Salts as Cation-Exchangers-I Synthesis and Analytical Applications of Cerium (IV) Phosphosilicatte

Abstract

This paper deals with the synthesis of ceriura(IV) phosphosilicate as a new, reproducible and stable inorganic ion-exchanger. The studies on Its composition, chemical and thermal stability, pH-titration, IE, and TGA have been discussed alongwith the distribution behaviour for metal ions. On the basis of distribution studies some ternary and binary separations of metal ions have been achieved which are Important both analytically and industrially.
