Abstract

Distribution ratios between Dowex 50 W-X 8 resin and DMSO-H2O-HCl systems have been determined for Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ga, In, Sn(II) and Pb(II) as a function of both DMSO content and HCl-molarity. At high DMSO concentrations and high HCl concentrations theD values for all metal ions were not much different from those in corresponding aqueous systems. However, at lower and intermediate HCl concentrations (0.10 to 0.60M) D values differed greatly from those in aqueous systems, especially in the range from 20 to 50 mole% DMSO. Maxima in the logD vs. mole% DMSO plots at constant HCl concentrations were obtained for all cations except Sn(II) and Pb(II). Separation procedures for various pairs and combinations of cations seem feasible in DMSO-media [e. g., Ga/In and Sn(II)/Pb(II)] and the DMSO-water system is suggested as a very promising novel solvent medium for ion exchange separations.
