Adsorption behaviour of some lanthanides on zirconium phosphate silicate (ZPS) in mineral acids.
The distribution coefficients of tervalent eruopium, terbium, thulium and scandium between zirconium phosphate silicate and mineral acids have been determined. The distribution coefficients were found to change from one element to another and to depend on the acid used and its concentration. Separation factors were calculated and a separation scheme for these elements was worked out.
