Abstract

TBP impregnated macroporous styrene-divinylbenzene XAD-4 polymer was employed as the stationary phase in extraction chromatography of Eu(III) and Am(III). Parameters affecting the performance (HETP) of the chromatographic column were investigated. These include the effect of flow rate, TBP loading, aqueous nitrate concentration, and particle size. One striking result obtained is that the column performance improves as the TBP loading increases.
