A. Nilchi et al., Properties, ion-exchange behavior, and analytical applications of cerium phosphate cation exchangers suitable for column use, SEP SCI TEC, 34(9), 1999, pp. 1833-1843
Some investigations on the preparative procedure of cerium phosphate cation
exchangers suitable for column use are reported. A number of novel forms o
f cerium phosphate compounds in the presence of different salts are synthes
ized. The properties of these inorganic ion exchangers have been characteri
zed on the basis of chemical analysis, UV, thermal, IR and x-ray diffractio
n methods. Their ion-exchange properties, chemical stability, and selectivi
ty for certain ions are investigated.
