Tin(II) hexacyanoferrate(III) gel, prepared by adding tin(II) chloride to potassium hexacyanoferrate(III) solution and heating at 80 °C, has been found to be stable in acids and salt solutions. Distribution coefficients, determined for various metal ions, show that the exchanger has a high affinity for lead. Binary separations of lead from a number of other metal ions at different concentrations were achieved on the column of the exchanger and a ternary separation of Pb2+- Cu2+- Zn2+ was also carried out.
The preparation of the cited gel is described; the product is stable in aq. mineral acid or salt (e.g., KCl or NH4NO3) media. Distribution coeff. have been determined for 31 elements by shaking 0.1 g of exchanger with 10 ml of metal ion soln. (2mM) for 48 h. There was high affinity for univalent cations (Rb+, Cs+ and Ag+), but only for Pb2+ amongst bivalent cations. Up to 1mM-Pb2+ was completely adsorbed from soln. in static studies. Dynamic separations of Pb2+ from a variety of binary mixtures were achieved; the adsorbed Pb2+ were eluted with 1M-HNO3. Lead could be separated from Cu and Zn, but not from Ag.
