Abstract

ABSTRACTThe isolation of strontium from aqueous media may be required for environmental monitoring or nuclear forensics sample analyses.[1–4] The prevalent method is to use a strontium selective extraction chromatographic resin. Two such products are Eichrom Technologies Sr resin and IBC Advanced Technologies AnaLig® Sr-01 resin. Eichrom Technologies Sr resin utilizes a crown ether (4,4′(5′)-di-t-butylcyclohexano-18-crown-6) diluted in 1-octanol and coated onto AmberchromTM CG71 resin, and IBC Advanced Technologies AnaLig® Sr-01 resin features a proprietary extractant covalently tethered to a silica support. The use of each resin is reported in the literature; Eichrom Sr Resin specifications, including the resin’s weight distribution ratio and capacity factor for analytes, have been reported but no such data have been published for IBC Analig® Sr-01 resin. In this work, batch studies were completed to determine the capacity and weight distribution ratio of both AnaLig® Sr-01 and Eichrom Sr resins for strontium and barium. This work shows that both resins retained Sr from aqueous samples, but Eichrom Sr resin provided superior Sr/Ba separation compared with Analig® Sr-01 resin.
