Be(II), Mg(II), Ca(II), Sr(II) and Ba(II) can be separated by elution from a cation-exchange column in the ammonium form with increasing concentrations of ammonium malonate. A typical elution sequence for a 60-ml column (volume in H+-form) of AG50-X8 resin is: 200 ml of 0.20 N ammonium malonate plus 0.10 N malonic acid for Be(II); 300 ml of 0.50 N, 450 ml of 0.70 N, 350 ml of 1.10 N ammonium malonate for Mg(II), Ca(II) and Sr(II), respectively, and 200 ml of 3.0 N nitric acid for Ba(II). Separations are sharp and quantitative for element pairs in weight ratios from 1:1000 to 1000:1. Distribution coefficients, elution curves and quantitative separations are presented. |
