Summary
The paper describes nuclear activation analysis of several chromatographic grade silicas for the determination of trace metals. The effect of acid washing is described and the effect of trace metals on the acidity of surface silanols is discussed. A correlation has been found between the concentration of metal traces in the layer of silica adjacent to the surface and the concentration of strongly interacting sites.
