Cation Exchange Equilibria in Mixed Solvents Sorption Characteristics of Common Metals from Water-Dimethyl Sulfoxide-Hydrochloric Acid Mixed Solvent

The systematic study of sorption of Ca, Cd, Co(II), Cu(II), Fe(III), Hg(II), In(III), La, Mn, Ni(II), Th(IV), Pb, Yb, U(VI), and Zn by Dowex 50 x 8 cation exchange resin from dimethyl sulfoxide-water-hydrochloric acid mixed solvent is presented. The sorption characteristics are much the same as those found for acetone-water-hydrochloric acid mixed solvent. Major differences occur in the case of Fe(III), Ca, Mg, and Pb. Many useful separations involving these elements are indicated
