Abstract
Chelating resins prepared by sorption of 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-(diethylamino)phenol (5-BrPADAP) on macroporous resins (Amberlite XAD-4 and XAD-7) were characterized. The adsorption properties (amount of chelating agent adsorbed per gram of resin, sorption kinetics, retention capacity, etc.) and the thermodynamic quantities of each adsorption process were determined. The retention of some rare earth elements (e.g. Er, Yb and Lu) on these chelating resins was studied in order to preconcentrate them for their determination by X-Ray fluorescence spectrometry.
