Summary

The thin-layer chromatographic behavior of 58 metals on an intermediately acidic cation exchanger, cellulose phosphate (P-cellulose), has been surveyed systematically in sulfuric acid and ammonium sulfate media (0.01–2.0 M). The Rf values for many bivalent and univalent metal ions on P-cellulose plates increase with increasing concentration of sulfate ions. Howerver, manganese (II), arsenic (III) and selenium (IV) are not adsorbed on the cellulose to any great extent. Beryllium (II) and other metals, which form either strong phosphate complexes or insoluble sulfate precipitates, are strongly retained on the P-cellulose. The thin-layer chromatographic separations of various metal ions of analytical interest were accomplished to demonstrate the use of Rf measurements for predicting separations in the acid and the sulfate media.
