title: [L'application des radioisotopes a la chromatographie sur colonnes de celluloses substituees-IV L'analyse du mercure et du zinc dans le bismuth].
abstract: The Chromatographic behaviour of nanogram amounts of bismuth has been studied by radioisotope techniques on cellobiose, cellulose and seven substituted celluloses. All celluloses in ethyl ether adsorb bismuth, provided that it is as nitrate, and that excess of nitric acid is avoided. Bismuth can be eluted with thiocyanate in ether-methanol or with hydrochloric acid in methanol, depending on the retention strength of the various functional groups of celluloses. A very simple method of separation of bismuth from mercury over a wide range of concentration is presented.
