New adsorbents in planar chromatography: II. Behavior of metal ions on titanium(IV) silicate ion-exchanger

Thin layers of titanic silicate have been used to study the chromatographic behavior of 30 metal ions chromatographed with aqueous and mixed mobile phases, Rapid separations of Al(3+), V(S+), Hg(2+), Cd(2+) and other ions from numerous other metal ions, and many ternary and binary separations, have been developed. The effect on R(F) of pH in the presence of complexing anion and the temperature at which the ion-exchange plates were dried after coating have been studied and are discussed.
