Abstract
Elution behavior of rare earth elements have been investigated with the EDTA solution as an eluent using cation exchange resin. Definite amount of the complexed rare earth ions at pH 8.4 is adsorbed through the cation exchanger containing cupric ion as a retaining ion and eluted with EDTA solution. The rare earth ions are eluted more rapidly in the above method than in the method in which uncomplexed rare earth ions are adsorbed on the cation exchange resin bed. In this method, the elution time and amount of eluent are saved but the resolution values also decreased a little. The elution order of complexed ion was determined in accordance with the stability constant of complexes with rare earth elements.
양이온 교환수지를 이용하여 희토류 원소들의 용리현상을 연구하였다. 희토류 원소를 EDTA로 착물로 만들어 수지상단에 일정량 흡착 시킨 후 EDTA용액으로 용리하는 방법이 희토류 원소를 직접 양이온 교환수지에 흡착시키고 용리시키는 방법보다 희토류 원소들이 빨리 용리되어 용리액과 용리시간이 절약 되었다. 그러나 분리능은 약간 감소 하였다. 용리되는 순서는 착물의 안정도 상수가 큰 원소가 먼저 용리 되었다.
