Sorption characteristics of modified poly(ethyleneimine) supports whic
h contain ammonium, carboxymethyl or phosphonomethyl groups have been
determined for uptake of molybdenum(VI), rhenium(VII) and vanadium(V).
Results suggest the separation of rhenium(VII) toward molybdenum(VI)
from loaded N-carboxymethyl derivative by selective elution with 1M su
lfuric or perchloric acid. Moreover, vanadium(V) should be also select
ively eluted from molybdenum(VI), iron(II) or iron(III).
