Europium Removal at Trace Concentrations by Manganese-Dioxide from Slightly Acidic Mixtures of Water and Tetrahydrofuran
Adsorption of europium on manganese dioxide from binary mixture of tetrahydrofuran and sulfuric acid has been studied in detail. Various parameters like contact time, composition of the binary mixture and foreign ions are also studied. Adsorption of other metal ions under the same conditions was also monitored. From the observed data, separation of europium from silver and especially from mercury can be achieved in good fashion.
