Abstract

Distribution coefficient (Kd) data provides the analyst with a powerful set of tools for designing elemental chemical separations. While considerable Kd data exists in the literature for traditional anion and cation exchange resins, a comprehensive Kd study for the majority of the periodic table has not been published to date for several newer Eichrom extraction chromatographic resins. Kd values for the sorption of 41 different of elements on TEVA, TRU, UTEVA, and Diphonix resin were determined in this work. The power of Kd data in designing chemical separations is then demonstrated through development of separation methods for several challenging chemical separations including U/Mo/Te, Zr/Nb/Mo, and Cd isolation. Separation methodologies are finally applied to soil samples, where the ability for each separation to perform under complex matrix conditions is evaluated.
