Sorption of Metal Ions on an Anion-Exchange Resin in an Ammonium Acetate Solution

The distribution coefficients for 60 elements on the anion-exchange resin Dowex 1x8 in ammonium acetate medium (0.1–5.0 M) are determined. The values of Kd are presented as a periodic table of the elements. A range of possibilities for separating the elements of this system is proposed.
