title: Collection of traces of metals on carboxy cellulose cation-exchanger.
abstract: Carboxy cellulose ("C-cell") is a cation-exchanger based on cellulose and having carboxyl functional groups with pK 3.46 +/- 0.05 at 20 +/- 1 degrees in 1M sodium chloride. The capacity of the exchanger is pH-dependent and the maximum is 0.22 mequiv/g. The capacity is also influenced by the dielectric constant of the medium and by the swelling of the cellulose. C-cell is suitable for the collection of metal ion impurities from aqueous and non-aqueous media.
