Abstract

Adsorptive separation of Gd3+ ions was evaluated using DOWEX-50×8 ion exchange resin. It has shown a maximum adsorption capacity of 228.50 mg/g at optimum pH 5 and room temperature. Separation of Gd isotopes was investigated using packed bed columns of the resin in displacement chromatographic techniques where 1,2-cyclohexanedinitrilotetraacetic acid was used as displacer in the mobile phase. Isotopic analysis data by using MC‒ICP‒MS confirmed that the front end of the Gd adsorption band exhibited enrichment of the heavier isotope (160Gd), while the lighter isotopes (157Gd and 155Gd) were concentrated at the rear end of the stationary phase.
