Properties, Ion-Exchange Behavior, and Analytical Applications of Cerium Phosphate Cation Exchangers Suitable for Column Use

Abstract

Some investigations on the preparative procedure of cerium phosphate cation exchangers suitable for column use are reported. A number of novel forms of cerium phosphate compounds in the presence of different salts are synthesized. The properties of these inorganic ion exchangers have been characterized on the basis of chemical analysis, UV, thermal, IR and x-ray diffraction methods. Their ion-exchange properties, chemical stability, and selectivity for certain ions are investigated.
