Adsorption of some elements from hydrochloric acid by anion exchange

Anion exchange behavior of 20 anionic chemical species was studied focusing on hydrochloric acid solutions. Elution characteristics for some of these anions were followed by using a basic anion exchange resin. Estimates of distribution coefficients in 10−3–9 mol/l acid were obtained by analytical determinations of these elements in column effluent solutions. The adsorption data observed in this medium suggests many applications in analytical separations.
