THE SEPARATION OF SOME INORGANIC IONS BY HIGH-VOLTAGE ELECTROMIGRATION IN PAPER

A number of inorganic ions have been separated by high-voltage electromigration in paper. The systems considered include some of particular radiochemical interest, such as Sr–Y, Ba–La, Mo–Tc, Pb–Bi–Po, as well as the alkali metals, some elements of the first long period, and other metals. Background electrolytes were usually solutions of complex-forming organic acids.
