Dj. Wood et al., COLUMN CHROMATOGRAPHIC-SEPARATION OF Y3-ETHER RESINS( FROM SR2+ BY POLYMERIC IONIZABLE CROWN), Analytica chimica acta, 284(1), 1993, pp. 37-43
Condensation polymers containing subunits of crown ether carboxylic ac
id monomers are effective stationary phases for the chromatographic se
paration of Y3+ and Sr2+. Th, pH range and metal loading capacities fo
r the resins have been determined under equilibrium conditions. The re
sin can be regenerated for repeated use without losing its separation
capability. Altering the molecular structure of the monomer (sym-diben
zo-16-crown-5-oxyacetic acid) by an alkyl substitution on the macrocyc
lic cavity decreases the loading capacity of the resin.
