Chelating polymers and related supports for separation and preconcentration of trace metals.
This review is concerned mainly with the applications of chelating polymeric resins for the separation and concentration of trace metals from oceans, rivers, streams and other natural systems. Commercially available resins, specially prepared polymers and a selection of other sorbents are described and their uses outlined. Special emphasis is placed on the preconcentration of uranium from sea-water.
