Column chromatographic separation of molybdenum (VI) from alloys with poly-(dibenzo-18-crown-6) from a hydrochloric acid medium.
A very simple column chromatographic separation method has been developed for molybdenum (VI) using poly-(dibenzo-18-crown-6). The separations are carried out from hydrochloric acid medium. The adsorption of molybdenum (VI) on a poly-(DB-18-C-6) was quantitative from 2.5 to 10.0M HCl. Amongst the various eluents tested, 0.5M ammonium hydroxide was found to be an efficient eluent. Molybdenum (VI) was separated from a large number of elements in binary form, as well as from multicomponent mixtures. The method was applied for the analysis of molybdenum from various alloy samples. The method is very simple, rapid, selective and reproducible. The reproducibility of the procedure is +/-2%.
