Alkaline earth separations on microcrystalline cellulose columns.
Magnesium, calcium, strontium and barium may be separated quantitatively from each other on a column of micro-crystalline cellulose. Barium and radium are also separated from each other. The metal ions are eluted from the column by methanol-hydrochloric acid in varying proportions. The separated metal ions can be titrated with EDTA. Trace amounts of metal ions may be determined by neutron activation.
