Summary
-
1.
Equations have been obtained for the movement of concentration points in complexing chromatography carried out under equilibrium conditions. Basic relations connecting the rate of front movement, and the pH and concentration of the solution have been formulated.
-
2.
Expressions have been obtained which can be used in following the process of separating such closely related elements as the transuranides and rare earths. These expressions have been used to establish the conditions required for separations with various complexing agents.
-
3.
Calculations have been carried out using the data of the literature on the separation of the transuranides. It has been shown that the separation process is correctly described by the theory developed here.
