Ma. Rauf et al., EUROPIUM REMOVAL AT TRACE CONCENTRATIONS BY MANGANESE-DIOXIDE FROM SLIGHTLY ACIDIC MIXTURES OF WATER AND TETRAHYDROFURAN, Separation science and technology, 30(1), 1995, pp. 117-124
Adsorption of europium on manganese dioxide from binary mixture of tet
rahydrofuran and sulfuric acid has been studied in detail. Various par
ameters like contact time, composition of the binary mixture and forei
gn ions are also studied. Adsorption of other metal ions under the sam
e conditions was also monitored. From the observed data, separation of
europium from silver and especially from mercury can be achieved in g
ood fashion.
