Abstract.
A new chelating sorbent for metal ions was prepared by modification of chemically modified silica – LiChroprep-NH2 with Calcon. The molecular mechanism of binding this reagent to the surface of the applied carrier is presented. The properties of this sorbent were compared to analogous sorbents with a plain silica carrier and chemically modified silicas – LiChroprep-RP containing Calcon. The advantages of the new sorbent compared to the silica and LiChroprep-RP chelating sorbents are demonstrated. The sorbent obtained was applied as stationary phase in solid-phase extraction (SPE) for separations of some chosen mixtures of metal ions and for additional purification of aqueous solutions of salts of alkali metals from trace amounts of heavy metals. The multiple use of the sorbent based on LiChroprep-NH2 in sorption-desorption processes of metal ions without deterioration of its sorption capacity is demonstrated.
