title: Studies on the extraction of phosphomolybdate by polyether foam.
abstract: To establish the mechanism of heteropoly anion extraction, the sorption of phosphomolybdate by polyether-based polyurethane foam was investigated. The effect of several variables on the extraction was studied and the optimum conditions were ascertained. The results of this study indicate that the cation-chelation mechanism cannot account for the extraction of phosphomolybdate by polyether foam.
