Abstract
Abstract Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) of metal ions on layers of microcrystalline cellulose, alumina G, and their binary mixtures was performed with aqueous solutions of ammonia (NH3), acetic acid (HOAc), sodium acetate (NaOAc), ammonium acetate (NH4OAc), and sodium nitrate (NaNO3) as mobile phases. Ag+ was separated from other metal ions by using a mixed layer with 1.0M aqueous NH3 as mobile phase. Some important binary, ternary, and quaternary separations were achieved. The effect of acid-base equilibria on the retention behavior of Ag+ was examined. After TLC separation, Ag+ was determined quantitatively by spectrophotometry using dithizone solution (in acetone) as chromogenic reagent. The TLC–colorimetric method was applied to recovery of Ag+ from horn silver (AgCI) and argentite (Ag2S).
