Chelating resin-impregnated paper chromatography, applications to trace element collection of ferrous and ferric ions, and determination by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry.
An ion-exchange approach to the preparation of chelating resin is demonstrated whereby a typical sulfonated chelating agent, 7-iodo-8-hydroxy quinoline-5-sulfonic acid, is immobilized as counterions on a piperazinium polyelectrolyte matrix. The resulting chelate forming resin has been used to effect the selective separation of ferrous as well as ferric ion from a known mixture containing other trace elements without any complication of the leaching of either chelating ligand or resin from the stationary support. The chelating resin-impregnated paper chromatographic technique followed with differential pulse anodic stripping analysis is described for the preconcentration, separation, and recovery of divalent and trivalent ions of iron from the various heavy metals in aqueous phases. The combination of chelation and paper chromatography involves a differential migration procedure which provides a technique for the separation of analyte ions quantitatively without any interference from the complex matrices.
