Abstract
Equilibrium distribution coefficients are presented for the alkaline earth metals Be(II), Mg(II), Ca(II), Sr(II) and Ba(II) with the complexing agents acetate, formate, lactate, citrate, tartrate, α-hydroxyisobutyrate, malonate, malate, acetylacetonate, EDTA, EGTA and DCTA, and the AG50W-X8 cation-exchange resin. Coefficients in HCl, HNO 3, HClO 4 and NH 4Cl are included for the sake of completeness. The merits of the various complexing agents for the separation of adjacent element pairs are discussed and experimental elution curves are presented for selected separations. Separation factors for adjacent elements are calculated at eluting agent concentrations corresponding to a distribution coefficient of 10 for the less strongly absorbed element and are presented together with the eluting agent concentrations to form a basis for comparison.
