Synthetic routes are discussed for incorporation of a tertiary aliphatic amide group in a macroporous polystyrene-divinylbenzene resin. The amide resin retains uranium(VI), thorium( I V ) , and zirconium( I V ) selectively from aqueous solution, pH 3.0. A liquid chromatographic separation scheme using the resin is given and quantitative results are obtained for uranium in synthetic and actual samples, and for thorium in synthetic samples. Gold(II1) and palladium(I1) are selectively retained by the resin from aqueous solutions containing hydrochloric acid. The resin has a capacity for gold of 1.7 mmol/g.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
