Abstract

Silica gel was chemically modified with anN-acyl-N′-benzoylthiourea group. This material behaved as a selective means of preconcentrating Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) from ethanol by the column technique. Ethanolic solutions having 6 μmol of the metal ions were percolated through the column and retentions of 100% were achieved for all metals. Zinc and copper were eluted quantitatively from the column bed with 5mL of ethanolic O.1molL−1 (for Zn) and 0.9 mol L−1 (for Cu) citric acid. Cadmium was recovered totally with 60 mL of ethanolic 2.0 mol L−1 citric acid. The modified silica was shown to be chemically stable after various adsorption-elution cycles (at least twenty).
