“…Sorption materials, widely used to solve the problems of radioanalytical chemistry [ 13 , 14 ], radiochemical technologies [ 15 , 16 ], and nuclear medicine [ 17 ], were studied in several works for the separation of Au and Hg. It was established that the K d of both elements in different media on cation- and anion-exchange sorbents was either very low or very high, which did not enable quantitatively separating them from each other [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ]. Using commercial extraction chromatographic sorbents TEVA and LN (based on Aliquat 336 and HDEHP, respectively), it was possible to recover carrier-free Hg from macro-amounts of Au; however, 10–20% of Au remained on the column [ 24 , 25 , 26 ].…”
