Sorption of arnmine complexes of Ni+ 2 , CU+ 2 , Zn+: and Cd+ 3 On hydrous Tin dioxide has been studied at different pH values. It has been found that qa and Kd values attain a maximum with increasing pH, beyond which a faU is observed. The selectivity quotients of the exchanger material towards competing pairs (Cu+2-Zn+ 2 , Cu+1-Cd+ 3 , CU+ LNi+2 ) of complex ions have been measured as a function of the concentration of the external solution. The selectivity of the exchanger material towards the preferred ion decreased with increase in the concentration of the competing ions in the external solution. The selectivity and the sorption values (qa) follow the same order.
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.
