Nanobead-Agglomerated Cation Exchangers

The structural and technical properties of the two nanobead-agglomerated cation exchangers are summarized in Table 4.4.

Corporation, are called nanobead-agglomerated cation exchangers. Their structure is schematically depicted in Figure 4.36. However, separator columns such as lonPac CSS and Fast-Sep Cation, which were manufactured using to this methodology, are no longer available.

Alternatively, uranyl cations can also be separated on a nanobead-agglomerated cation exchanger utilizing a buffer mixture of ammonium sulfete and sulfuric acid as an eluent Detection is performed as it is for transition metals, via derivatization with PAR.
