Abstract
Seven chromatographic columns were evaluated for the recovery of 48V-radiolabelled vanadate. Further, the behaviour of vanadate (H 2VO 4 −) was studied on a size-exclusion column Superose 12 as a function of (a) buffer salt molarity, (b) different buffer salts, (c) different buffers and (d) organic solvents added to the buffer. As opposed to the unsatisfactory recovery of V-compounds on other columns, we recovered the vanadium quantitatively. We observed that in most cases vanadate eluted after the total volume of the Superose 12 column. This indicates a non-ideal behaviour of vanadate. However, through this non-ideal behaviour it was possible to separate low-molecular-mass bound ( M r<5000) and unbound vanadium which would not be possible under normal behaviour. A possible explanation for this non-ideal behaviour of vanadium is put forward. The method has been successfully applied for the fractionation of different vanadium species in rat spleen homogenate.
