Synthesis and ion-exchange characteristics of stannic molybdates: separation of Fe3+ from Al3+, Ni2+, and Mn2+ and of Ce3+ from Pr3+ and Nd3+

Mohsin Qureshi, Khadim Husain and Jai Prakash Gupta


Three new samples of stannic molybdate with Sn:Mo ratio of 2:1 have been synthesized by mixing 0·1M-SnCl4 and 0·1M-Na2MoO4 solutions in the volume ratios 2:1 (sample 1), 4:3, and 1:1 at pH 1. They are amorphous, monofunctional ion exchangers with an ion exchange capacity of ca. 0·54–0·73 mequiv g–1. The Kd values of 25 cations have been determined on these samples in aqueous medium. Sample 1 was found to be the most stable and Kd values on this sample were determined at pH 1,2,3, and 4. The selectivity of metal ions was also tested on this sample in the presence of 0·01–0·5M-ammonium chloride. The analytical importance of these samples has been established by some useful separations.
