The chromatographic behaviour of zinc, cadmium and mercury on columns of natural cellulose and substituted celluloses is studied using (65)Zn, (109)Cd and (203)Hg radiotracers. Traces of zinc and cadmium are strongly retained by the functional groups attached on the substituted celluloses ; on the contrary mercury is not retained to any extent. Nanogram amounts of zinc, cadmium and other metals are separated from 3 g of mercury on cellulose phosphate in ethyl ether.
