“…A-l has been used to separate calcium from lithium salts (14) and caustic soda (15), copper from \M ammonium chloride (17), copper, nickel, lead, iron, manganese, zinc, and cadmium from oil field waters (4) and manganese from concentrated sodium chloride (8). Leyden and Underwood (11) measured distribution coefficients (D) of several cations with Dowex A-l at various temperatures and pH values up to 7 and concluded that most divalent ions showed similar behavior exhibiting D values which became maximal at pH 4-5. They also noted that an increase 1 Present address: Bellaire Research Laboratories, Texaco, Inc., Bellaire, Tex. in ionic strength up to 1.1/ caused a decrease in the D value for copper.…”
